Neil Gaiman makes books sound metal:
“Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over. There are tales that are older than most countries, tales that have long outlasted the cultures and the buildings in which they were first told.”
Oh, so much good stuff here: lots to share with students. THANK YOU!
Yes, looks like excellent links to more material, too.
That’s the great thing about Popova posts: she pulls together so many threads. I just shared this one on self-criticism with my students in an assignment about getting/giving feedback:
