The engineer gets in the office, opens Outlook, and proceeds to get inundated by emails sent while he was eating dinner or waking up.

I felt deeply identified with Neil Gaiman's approach to reading and daydreaming, since I really felt it cleared my mind, relating daydreaming to reading. I never thought about this relationship until today. I consider his article was very touching, since he uses his own experience and memories to illustrate his idea, which I find quite accurate, not only because I have read and discussed about this before, but also because I just felt it was true. Since I was a child, I was aware that…
