I dont understand what you mean by that or why you write this. A text is a
text is a text. Do you think reading is just for teenagers ? Certainly
not. >>
I can't speak for everyone, of course, but I know that I certainly understand
the world and language differently than I did when I was a teenager, and that
texts that really grabbed me then don't mean so much today (even though I can
see why I was grabbed at the time), and there are texts I loved then that I
still love, but I have different readings, or more intense readings, or more
expanded readings of them. A text is a text is a text, but a human is one who
hopefully grows, learns, experiences, changes, redefines, awakens, goes back
to sleep, reawakens, drives around the block and looks for a parking place
for an hour, then goes in a store for ten minutes and gets back in the car
and goes, maybe eats an apple on the way home, or may has a cup of coffee.
