Borges Quotation

"People say that life is the thing but I prefer reading," says Borges. It is interesting that Borges, who, if anyone could, could see the way that the alphabetic world composes the life we live in, post-Gutenberg, bothers to set a distinction between the two. We are situated readers of the world itself, characters in our own emplotment.

I'm working on material that will help me towards expressing this. Mostly involving music stands and bits of paper.
