My favorite quotation on reading and books is from former US president Barack Obama, who said in a 2017 interview on what books mean to him: “ (reading) reintroduced me to the power of words as a way to figure out who you are and what you think, and what you believe, and what’s important, and to sort through and interpret this swirl of events that is happening around you every minute.”
