—Angela Carter, novelist and journalist (1940-1992)“Reading a book is like rewriting it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.”
It is so true. Can’t help but agree with Angela on this. Each person reading a book can take away something different and it is that quality that brings books to life. I like interpreting books and movies once they are over and realize that the moment we read or see them, they take a shape different from that intended by the author or the director. Care to share any experiences?
