#13: Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett. A dying wizard passes on his staff and abilities… to a girl! As she grows up, she (and everyone around her) the has to figure out the difference between a witch and a wizard and why and whether there ought to be differences, and the difference between words, ideas, and things, and of course they come to realize that it’s all pretty much the same; it all depends on how you choose to look at them. Thoroughly enjoyable; especially on such a weird day when the only three things I could successfully accomplish were sleeping, reading, and being — never mind the unpleasant details, just generally unwell. I think I’m past the worst of it. Hope so. I’m scheduled to go into town tomorrow for a hair appointment and I need to stop at the library and get more books.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
