Getting to Know the Author (Version 2)
StoryIllustration★★★★A woman started reading a book which, after a few chapters, she found dull and uninteresting, so she stopped reading it and pushed it aside.
A few months later she went on a cruise and met an enchanting young man. She said to him, “I have a book at home whose author has a name identical to yours!”
“What’s the name of the book?” he asked.
When she told him, he said, “I wrote that book!”
When she returned home, she immediately found the book and read it cover to cover. It was the most fascinating book she’d ever read.
The point
A woman dismissed a book as dull, but after meeting the author on a cruise and reading it again, she found it fascinating—illustrating how knowing the author transforms our experience.
