Embracing the Spirit of Creativity  

When you read, you experience life's happenings through the eyes of someone other than yourself. New perspectives about another cultures or situations open doors you may never have the opportunity to enter on your own.  When you read literature, you get to walk in the shoes of a character whose life is different than your own.
