2 My Journey with the Book’s... The Fallacy of Faith

3 The Books we Need... Are the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of someone we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest from all human habitation - a book should serve as an axe for the frozen sea within us. Franz Kafka Franz Kafka

McKenna, 2010
