Every summer since I was little, I've gone to garage sales and bought all the books that looked interesting. So I always have something to read.

A myth is a story that is "more than true." Many stories are true because one person, somewhere, at some time, lived it. But a myth is more than true because it is lived by all of us, at some level. It's a story that connects and speaks to us all.
