The logic: Reading is a private pursuit, one that often takes place behind closed doors. A young lady might retreat with a book, might even take it into her boudoir, and there, reclining on here silken sheets, imbibing the thrills and chills manufactured by writerly quills, one of her hands, one not absolutely needed to grip the little volume, might wander. The fear, in short, as one-handed reading. [p. 146]
Siri Hustvedt
A book is a collaboration between the one who reads and what is read and, at its best, that coming together is a love story like any other.

Reading is perception as translation. The inert signs of an alphabet become living meanings in the mind.
