Why this must be read:

This story is my first rec because you really don't need to know anything about "The Sandman" to love it and it avoids major spoilers for the spoiler-phobes out there. I think it's actually a must read for anyone who loves books, because you don't need to be familiar with anything but a love of books order to understand all the books we've lost, and how nothing—how no dreams—can truly replace them. This story haunts me, because I've always wished I could go back in time and save all the books that are gone, every single one.

I've been hanging on to the crack_van bumper for many a lunatic mile, now, and I've been grateful, touched, soothed, and flat on my butt hysterical with laughter, but this is the first story that felt like a slap in the face with a bucket of WakeUp!ThisIsTheWorld!

Thank you for the rec. - Ingrid, on the edge of the world
