The Problem With Reading

by Zia ~ September 30th, 2005. Filed under: Books.

Or rather reading too much. We such readers take the written word far too seriously. We hunch over our novels and analyze every word, every shift in tone. We scrutinize motivations and examine characters like they’re organisms under a microscope. If you read too much do you become desensitized to the simple pleasure of a book? Or maybe it’s the opposite. Do you become too sensitive and therefore more critical? I don’t know — but what I do know is that Steve is reading Until I Find You and laughing his head off.
