If not, In what do they differ? -Are there any practices that you consider reading but that would fit that or other definitions of reading?-Is there an ideal reading experience for you? What is it? Is there a book that represents it? -If there is such thing as an ideal reading experience, it follows that there is an scale of value to reading. What is at the bottom? -Is there a book on that bottom that you love or enjoyed as much as those on the top? -Is reading as the art of associating symbols and creating meaning out of them, a predecessor of language, or does it come after as a consequence of those languages? -Is everything that can be read/with meaning a language?-Mention a few languages that defy the conventional conception of what a language is. Could a book be written in any of those languages? -If you could boundlessly read/understand the meaning in one of those languages. Which one would it be?
