The most meta book I have read. It touches on the different relationships of reading from the individual relationship of the reader, relationships with other readers, the author, translations, the very act of reading, the text, and everything in between.
capisco la filosofia di oulipo che c'è dietro alla struttura del romanzo, apprezzo lo stile, abbandono comunque
Not the vibe rn. I like that he does write like Lemony Snicket but nothing is sticking for me. Might try it again later.
I wish that the book has only the short stories instead of one general story. This male and female reader concept really bored me down with the way of sexist storytelling but short stories kept me reading.

This is a galaxy-brain type book. It was good, there were a good many observations of how we read and take in information, but I also felt extremely stupid throughout the whole thing.
