A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called “leaves”) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.

— I’ve explored distant lands and parallel universes. I’ve ridden on magical trains and I’ve encountered the Moskenstraumen while escaping the Nautilus. I’ve accompanied Dante and Virgil in their journey through Hell. I’ve played games with the Ellimist himself..
