I read this paragraph and suddenly I am on a city block in the hot air, friends surround me, sipping cold drinks, and dancing. Children play. Old people compete at chess. I can hear the music, I can feel the humidity, I smell the cigar smoke in the air. I have been transported with just a few words.
Books are magic, they take you places.
