The reader, viewer, listener, usually grossly underestimates his importance. If a reader cannot create a book along with the writer, the book will never come to life. Creative involvement: thats the basic difference between reading a book and watching TV. In watching TV we are passive; sponges; we do nothing. In reading we must become creators.
The author and the reader “know” each other; they meet on the bridge of words.
