One Book to read for a lifetime
Imaged that you can only select one book to read and study. Immerse yourself in its world for the rest of the time you are here. Learning about the structure of the story and figure out why the author choose to depict it in that fashion.
This idea pop into my head, when I was reading Pope Joan a novel by Donna Woolfolk Cross. Her brother tutor (Aesculapius) gave her a book to read and she study that book every night. Even memorizing the shape of the letters. This story was set during the medieval ages. Most middle-class women rarely attended formal schools. Instead received domestic education. Depending on their household received specialized knowledge by working alongside their parents or at a guild.
This part of this book moves me because in this digital age we have a wealth of information available to us. I am only primarily only talking about having access to books through libraries etc. How she treasured that one book that Aesculapius gave her. Every time I feel like I don’t have anything to read. I think about Joan and her one precious book and how she grew up in a misogynistic household where she secretly learns to read and write.
