Confessions of Saint Augustine. I did not actually know how much any life, let alone mine, could be improved by a book before that.

Can someone explain this cover of Ulysses? Ul ... ss? I don't get it.
Josiah Ward
Yes
Oliver Thompson
None. A book can not have any tangible, actionable effect on your life (although many people delude themselves into thinking other wise).
Jose Brown
No, when taken in pieces, you have gibberish, and absurdity, but when taken poetically as a whole, not in it's exact literal meaning, but in it's synthetic effect, profound meaning is achieved.

Alright, let's take the material perspective. Thoughts are complex brain activity. They're chemical. Different thoughts create different neural connections. These connections change the way data is interpenetrated and transformed into response. Even a delusion has a chemical structure which alters the function of the network as a whole. Books, as physical objects, transmit by photons received by the eye a code for the complex series of chemical interactions which produce a neural information pathway. Books not only change your life, but they can change it as profoundly as an alteration to one of your limbs.

That's all fine and dandy but it's demonstrably clear that books don't have any genuine effect on the reader in the practical sense, beyond the adoption of some new ideological platitudes (which are mistaken for having effected some change).
Show me someone who has read a book and immediately thereafter was able to run a marathon, or quit an addiction or something else of the sort.
