    What good is a book that does not even transport us beyond all books?

    —Bible: New Testament St. John the Divine, in Revelation, 20:12.

    I wish I could write a beautiful book to break those hearts that are soon to cease to exist: a book of faith and small neat worlds and of people who live by the philosophies of popular songs.
