Dear Readers,

If something’s really, really good, then it doesn’t ever get old. Because when something’s really, really good, it’s usually about the issues that humans have always thought about and the issues we will continue to think about in the future: What’s the best way to live in the world? What is the just thing to do? 

So when we read A Christmas Carol or “The Cop and the Anthem” or a book about a whipping boy in 17th century England, we can empathize with the characters even though their lives are way different from our own. Because when it comes to the big issues, we’re mostly the same.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
