The Danger of Reading (continued)

That is the danger of reading. Speaking in other people's voices. Saying things in words and in tones that might get me in trouble! But I still read. Because reading immerses me in worlds that I haven't seen, experiences I haven't had, and thoughts that hadn't come to me yet. And if those voices are true and visionary and beautiful, and if I can incorporate them into my own, it makes my voice richer. Take the risk, read!
