...and music are my two major passions. Reading has always been so important to me, and I think it can (and probably should) be for everyone. There's nothing like nonfiction for gaining an understanding of what's going on in the world, both ours and the ones that came before us. And there's nothing like a great novel for getting into the minds of characters and gaining empathy for experiences different from your own. I'm a...
