Reading and Writing (Defined)

In general, reading can be seen as a way for people on this planet to become enlightened.  This can be enlightenment in a very broad range of things.  Reading can also be a vehicle for someone to enter a completely different world when you consider novels.  Keeping up to date with current events in this kind of technologically advanced has become so easy that there are more and more people every day that are giving up on books and doing all of their reading online.

What I learned from Harris's reading that we were assigned was that writing can be looked at or defined as a move of some sort.  His novel really focuses on the concept of rewriting, hence the title of the book.  He talks a lot about how most writing is almost always in response to someone else's writing.  I  believe writing is mostly used when someone wants to express themselves.
