A certain equilibrium is reached — where you read as many new books as you do old. Sometimes, the world hurts and you want to pull a story over your head, like a blanket. Searching for booksI am having coffee with a German friend, a student of medieval texts who has spent long hours over epics such as Parsifal. As far as I understand, it could be described as “your horizon melting within the horizon of the book”. Each time you read, you change, and your ‘horizon’ of the world changes.
