All the books I've read and don't remember in detail, have been firmly pressed into the foundation of who I am.
You can't tell the individual books apart under the weight of the later experience, but they are there, shaping who I am, planting the seeds of today's thoughts and decisions.
Every hero rising against injustice. Every warning of old science fiction books. Every friendship. Every moment of forgiveness. Every sacrifice for a better world.
They all are there, making me me.
