The Lure of BooksIn some ways reading is like sex: words must be disrobed to reveal intent. What appears on the surface is merely a superficial guise: passionate readers go deeper to explore where real intentions lie. Undressing texts takes courage and often personal risk, yet by doing so readers can discover how texts have the potential to strip away preconceptions exposing any deeply muted wish. By unzipping our imaginations, and taking artistic liberties great texts use metaphors to cast light on our foolishness and mirror our fantasies. |
