The Power of Imaginative Literature

There is a limit to how much we can experience in this life even if you have millions and millions of dollars. There's not when it comes to books that's why libraries are such a safe haven. Mortimer Adler, he tells you don't try to resist the effect that a work of imaginative literature has on you. If we must escape from reality it should be to a deeper or greater reality. He says that discovering this reality makes us happy,. The experience is deeply satisfying to some part of ourselves, we do not ordinarily touch. This is like music anyway and it's like art, it's like painting, it'slike any art really.
