A good book requires more from us in intelligence, imagination, and memory; and that makes it vulnerable to its glitzy competitors. The best books invite us to share in a sustained, complex, subtle effort to make sense of things, to understand some portion of our humanity and our universe. My own hunger for understanding set in long before I could read, back when ink marks on the page were still an impenetrable mystery, and yet even now, after devouring so many thousands of books, I am as ravenous as ever.
Which word is closest in meaning to “weak”?
subtle
impenetrable
sustained
vulnerable
