When you see someone reading a book, you see a person dealing with a great experience. The written word puts him on the wall: he asks ____ for an interaction and sends passivity to the brink. Reading rubs perception; it is the friction of two stones – fiat lux! No, whoever reads is not immobile, it is pure dynamism and motor. It's like a pregnant belly, in a very accelerated time of pregnancy. Reading enters the present, manufactures what will come. The reader is a da Vinci, diagramming the resources received, applying color. And doing. The primary importance of the act of reading is this denial of passivity, this unconditional demand for action. It's an act of intrinsic optimism.
