These stories represent a wide variety of human self-expression. One incredible benefit of reading is seeing yourself represented in stories. This is often referred to as "reading as a mirror". On the other hand, it's quite extraordinary to immerse yourself in the world of someone different from yourself. In this way, we are opening a window to see and understand another person. Aren't we lucky to be able to read about ourselves and others?
