Quote by Daniel Silliman

“There is also an imaginative communal aspect of reading. Built into the experience of engaging with a text is the experience of thinking about other readers. As an individual reads, he positions himself in a relationship to other possible responses to the text, the differences allowing an assertion of identity in terms of taste, preference, and even values. As much as reading allows you to imagine what it is like to be someone else, it also allows you to imagine what it is like to be yourself, though distinguished from others. who are also imagined.”
