Yes, some books are written to be read slowly and savored, and some books are written to be read quick and smooth and enjoying the rollercoaster.This is usually self-evident from the writing itself.I do not need to be told how to read a fucking book.Who is this person talking to meGod I hate people
>>24787592Those people didn't read it, they watched and listened to a performance of a written text and so did the crowds that gathered in ancient Greece to see Homer's works performed, they literally didn't read it.
