Not a soapbox, and definitely true for me so far. I didn’t enjoy Soseki‘s book, but the background shared in the discussion thread and linked resources were fantastic. They opened up a world I would never have been exposed to, and broadened my empathy and appreciation for the author. Vive la différence .
