I find it extremely helpful to reflect upon a book I have just finished, specifically with regard to lessons related through the narrative. As someone who tends to devour books before I can really process the deeper truths contained within, this is pretty imperative for me.
Perhaps you'll learn something new, too, from these great literary figures! Though, I must warn you, that most of my reflections on these literary pieces do contain spoilers!
