When my son was struggling to learn to read he would often ask "Why can't I just download this into my brain?" He never did learn to read well (we understood dyslexia much later) and audio books gave him access to stories and language but we have never been able to discover if his reading experience through the voice of another is different to mine. Thank you Joe for another brain tingling exploration of ideas.
"A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us" has me going round in circles thinking of the ice that is melting and the consequences we face because of that.
