Social Reading: The Future?
“Don’t get me wrong: I love the solitude of reading. As a culture, we’re not getting anywhere near enough solitude or time for contemplation. And I’m not arguing that the form of the book change all that much. I think authors need an endpoint, a place where the book is done. I see everything happening after that as being at the impetus of the reader. I suppose I see this kind of reading experience as somehow supplementary to what we now think of as reading, something extra for people who want or need more.”
