The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. — Jane Austen (Northanger Abbey)

A Sense of the World by Jason Roberts (My secondhand trade paperback copy)

A Sense of the World – Book Review

I dream of going blind someday. It’s been one of my lifelong fantasies. I have several personal reasons for wishing this but those would remain a secret for now. I’m sharing this dream though so you’d understand why this particular book now holds a special place in my heart. It changed me in a huge way. In fact, I now owe my newly reshaped goals in life to this unlikely story of a blind traveler.
