Summary

This quote suggests that reading is a powerful tool to combat loneliness. When we engage in reading, we enter a state where we are immersed in the minds and experiences of the characters and authors we encounter. This allows us to escape our own solitude and connect with others on a deeper level, even if they exist only within the pages of a book. Reading offers an escape from the isolation we may feel, making it an effective antidote to absolute loneliness.
