"Finnegans Wake is one of the books which I've always loved, and never read." John Cage
My favorite book (that I've never read) is A Humument by Tom Phillips. It's a "treatment" of W.H. Mallock's A Human Document (1892).
Here's a sample page:
Like Cage, I just like to skip around in the book and have no desire to read it linearly (start to finish). I guess my closing thought is this- Do vision impaired readers enjoy the same sense of serendipity when reading? Does current software provide this functionality (random page selection I guess)? What a pain it must be to browse a newspaper...
