This is so good on reading and how Proust casts a particular light on it. I really like your point re the curious amalgam: the moment of reading, the others it evokes, and the moments preceding that moment all wrapped up for each of us in the specificity of ourselves.

And…(man, there’s just such a lot here…) I agree so much with the discovery and simultaneous abandonment of the self all bound in with the outer silence of reading and our own internal rhythm of our own internal voice.
