reading

from reading lolita in tehran by azar nafisi-

'During their courtship they wrote letters and read poetry to each other. They became addicted to the secure world they created through words, a conspiratorial world in which everything that was hostile and uncontrollable became soft and articulated.' pg 68

'This is how you read a novel: you inhale the experience. So start breathing. I just want you to remember this. That is all; class dismissed.' pg 111
