Reading is, after all, the most solitary and contemplative  and long-lasting of all aesthetic pleasures. Reading is about spending time with characters and entering a fictional world and playing with words and living through a story page by page.

I totally agree with you.  @};-

I also believe reading is a re-creation process.  That is , the author created a world in the first place, and the readers reconstruct their own reality when reading.
