Reading was a Pascalian diversion - Stephanie lacava

'The more I know about the inner lives, the more I might understand about the world' 
When I read about the inner lives of deers and snail, it is a wonder that so much happens and exists unknown to us.

When I started reading the book, I assumed the author to be a male. But when the author talks about her naivete of trusting everyone, even the childhood phase didnt mask out her gender.
