I really enjoyed this. Thank you. I’ve had an almost insurmountable block on reading since my Dad died a few years ago, it’s made me realise just what a strange kind of space the page is. Not as reliable as it once was for me!

Thank you Sam! Yes, it’s weird isn’t it. Reading is so changeable

I feel that they give us a belief in the past being relevant to our present and our future. Without an imagined future, the act of writing about the present loses much of its meaning.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Katie. ❤️ Reading requires such a strange, suspended state, it's intriguing when the body and mind responds to it and when they don't.
