"He is, as you say, a remarkable horse, a prodigious horse, although as you very justly observe, a suspicious and untractable character."

Reading fiction not only develops our imagination and creativity, it gives us the skills to be alone. It gives us the ability to feel empathy for people we've never met, living lives we couldn't possibly experience for ourselves, because the book puts us inside the character's skin.
