Question: Who reads to discover what they already know? What does that even mean? I suspect I have a solid idea of what this quote means to a writer. We often write to discover what we intuitively already know about a story or character. But how does this quote apply to readers? Do we read to discover universal truths? Do we read to connect with each other through shared experiences? When I think about my debut novel, HOLLY BANKS FULL OF ANGST, Book One in the Village of Primm series, I often think about ways humor, satire, and allegory leads us to discover what we might already know about ourselves. Can you think of a book you've read in 2019 that lead you to discover what you later realized - you already knew? I'm taking reading recs in the comment section. List those books that, in 2019, lead you to an ”Ah-ha!” discovery, a ”Yep, that's so true,” acknowledgement about the human condition, or a ”Wow, I never thought about it that way.”
