"That was the problem with reading: you always had to pick up again at the very thing that had made you stop reading the day before"
- Nicholson Baker
About this Quote
In this quote, Nicholson Baker is highlighting the battle of reading. He recommends that the act of reading is frequently disrupted by external factors, causing the reader to stop and get again at a later time. Nevertheless, when they do resume reading, they are required to begin once again at the very same point where they left off. This can be frustrating and can interfere with the circulation of the story or details reading. Baker is pointing out the irony of reading, as it requires constant effort and attention, yet it is typically interrupted and needs the reader to backtrack.
