We all need them. We spend weeks, months, years–sometimes even lifetimes– dreaming about them.

It takes, sometimes, lifetimes to save up for them. Sometimes we never get there.

And when we do, there is lost luggage (after non-refundable baggage fees), Montezuma’s Revenge (after only drinking bottled water), and impotent men (after only bringing the one you’ve had for years).

Rarely do they turn out the way we hoped and dreamed.

Which is why we need books.
