I still recall reading The Shinning. I was in complete control of the page turning. I would read slow or fast. I can remember almost jumping out of bed by a quick scene - it was still that startling even though I could, as I say, control the pace. I also vividly recall reading the Confessions of Nat Turner - it disclosed history I was totally unaware of at that time. Two different horrible, horrifying moments of disclosure. Books definitely have their impact.
