I'm reading Rebecca Solnit's nonfiction book, Wanderlust: A History of Walking, and it's a perfect book for someone like me who loves to walk.
On walking in a city, and the promise of the urban environment, she writes:
"One does not have to go into the bakery or the fortune-teller's, only to know that one might."
Yes!
She's articulated something I've always sensed but couldn't put my finger on.
Also: I love the subtitle: A History of Walking. Why not? We've been walking since the beginning of time, and therefore it's an activity with history worthy to be explored.
