Reading

“Even though reading itself is a solitary experience, the impulse afterwards or even during is to want to talk to someone about the book, even if this ‘talking’ takes the form of reading what critics have to say.”

– John O’Brien, Founder, Dalkey Archive Press, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
