And reading this way - with no deadline, no agenda - she remembered why she loved literature so much. It was like fucking a new man and knowing that he had made other women come, but that when she came it would be an unshareable, untranslatable pleasure. She opened herself up to her books, and the words got inside her and fucked her senseless. Emily Maguire

No matter what, when you’re reading, you’re in the zone. Reading books is like fucking a new man, you know that no one else will ever compare to him or her. And when you come, it will be an unshareable untranslatable pleasure.
