Tis the good reader that makes the good book...

...in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Pretentious with a predictable and slightly frustrating ended. Yet sometimes you read something that your heart just needs to hear or that simply resonates (Emerson says it better), and this book I do believe was meant for my ear when I read it. I had grand intentions of writing more, but this will suffice.
