Part philosophical treatise, part spiritual meditation, this short work looks at reading from the point of view of subjective experience: how it enlivens the imagination and even provides an alternate world. The author includes personal anecdote, but focuses on a general aesthetic of the reading experience. There are aesthetic ruminations, consideration of the spiritual dimension of reading, and a brief comparison to other art forms. The general sphere of literature, philosophy and religious works are included for this investigation. It is hoped the reader will be equally instructed and entertained!
