David Barringer, On Reading
"A book is the delivery system for a hallucinogen you ingest through the eyes and digest in the mind. Reading allows one imagination to taste the inside of another."
{David Barringer is the author of There's Nothing Funny About Design, American Home Life, Johnny Red, and Emigre 68: American Mutt Barks in the Yard. Visit his website here for more information.}

I am only responding by chance, because I was before. I like to be next to these words, which function like cypresses. Like a lane. Like a deserted road in a natural setting where you get to lie down. You get to hallucinate the sky. Who would not want to lie down? Who wouldn't, in this formulation, open their stupid mouth?
