tired of people treating books like some empathy training tool. it's not even about becoming characters or understanding everyone else. you just gotta enjoy the
creative effort itself and think alongside the writer. i'm basically just trying to become more myself through it, not a different person. seems way more useful than all that platitude stuff people push. tbh sounds like a nice break from staring at a flexbox layout all day
