“The greatest gift reading gives me – gives everybody – is empathy. The ability to walk around in someone else’s shoes, share in their triumphs and tragedies and root for them for the length of a story. This world of ours could always use a little more empathy, and the art of storytelling gives us that naturally – the ability to empathise with characters and their plights. That’s the real magic, the stuff that can change the world by starting with the individual.”
