Anthology of Scrolls

by P.A. Wikoff

A book without a reader is merely a piece of paper, slowly turning into dust. It’s the reader that lends the words their power. They give the words their tears and emotions. It isn’t the great writer who takes you on a journey. It’s your own imagination that takes the story for a ride, with the words acting as a guide. This is how all books are so subjective. It if weren’t for the reader’s interpretation, words would remain meaningless. Just symbols on thin sheets of pulp.
