More From Stephen King

We must be forewarned that only rarely does a text easily lend itself to the reader's curiosity... the reading of a text is a transaction between the reader and the text, which mediates the encounter between the reader and writer. it is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.
Reading Learning Effort
Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. it can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.
Meditation Perception Brain
Reading, therefore, is a co-production between writer and reader. the simplicity of this tool is astounding. so little, yet out of it whole worlds, eras, characters, continents, people never encountered before, people you wouldn’t care to sit next to in a train, people that don’t exist, places you’ve never visited, enigmatic fates, all come to life in the mind, painted into existence by the reader’s creative powers. in this way the creativity of the writer calls up the creativity of the reader. reading is never passive.
Reading Creativity Character
The book is finished by the reader. a good novel should invite the reader in and let the reader participate in the creative experience and bring their own life experiences to it, interpret with their own individual life experiences. every reader gets something different from a book and every reader, in a sense, completes it in a different way.
Book Creative Way
Every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. the writer's work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. the reader's recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book's truth.
Book Might Recognition
The analytical writer observes the reader as he is; accordingly, he makes his calculation, sets his machine to make the appropriate effect on him. the synthetic writer constructs and creates his own reader; he does not imagine him as resting and dead, but lively and advancing toward him. he makes that which he had invented gradually take shape before the reader's eyes, or he tempts him to do the inventing for himself. he does not want to make a particular effect on him, but rather enters into a solemn relationship of innermost symphilosophy or sympoetry.
