Chimamanda Adichie explains why it is important to tell many stories. I love knowing why things are; I love knowing about different places, people, things. I love knowing their stories. At the end she says (I believe I remember the quote correctly but this may be slightly off) "When we reject the idea of a single story - when we realize there is /never/ a single story about a place - we regain a kind of paradise." -Chimamanda Adichie

This is why I like reading, in fiction and non fiction, stories. I like learning all views and all reasons. I love stories.
