I’m listening to the audiobook and there are some very deep and meaningful quotes of dialog. “If you hide your ignorance, no one will ever hit you and you’ll never learn.”

On top of that, the theme and importance of real imagination, meaningful content and reading vs mindlessly watching tv seemed very relevant to what exists today with instant dopamine hits of satisfaction from YouTube, TikTok, Netflix, social media, etc. all of which are generally lacking in any real substance.

“The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.” I’m not saying that the internet or tv can’t do this but they do it less often and much more poorly.

I have about an hour left of the audiobook, I love it so far, will definitely relisten to it soon.
