Oral history of reading project needs input
I am about to embark on a project that will involve talking about
reading experiences with living, breathing readers--unfamiliar terrain for a historian used to dead, or at least distant, people! I would welcome information about sources that will help me to construct the questions I want to ask, beyond "What did you read?" In my recent work on poetry readers I made use of Robert Pinsky's "Favorite Poem Project" database, so I know about that, but if anyone else is involved in oral histories of reading or can point me to published studies based on interviews, I'd be grateful.
