| The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, January 2022 |
"Between life and death there is a library,
and within that library, the shelves go on forever.
Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived.
To see how things would be if you had made other choices…
Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?”
--Matt Haig
I have always been drawn to people and characters who seem to have "come into their own." Persons who have become true to who they were made to be. It's fascinating to know a person over a long period of time and see them transform as they make and follow their life's path. I'm not talking about an "improved" person or a "better" person, because, after all we are still human. I'm thinking of words like unshakable, centered, unapologetic...and I admire those who embark on this kind of journey - and stay with it.
Matt Haig writes about this journey in a real and beautiful way - it's one of several aspects of The Midnight Library that make it a phenomenal read at the beginning of a new year.
