I too, will add to the generous comments applauding this work. I, as a rule, tend not to read this kind of work, but I surprised myself by quite enjoying it.
It feel it is a great shame that I was never told 'how to read' a book - in the sense of annotating...and as such have developed a kind of repulsion to the sight of 'writing in the margins' etc as in some way 'spoiling' the printed page...I have never analysed any book in the sense that I seem to understand you are suggesting and I can, in some ways relate to the description of being 'rigid in personality'.
I was enlightened by the allergy issue of printed books - but the smell of a good library is often quite evocative.
Many thanks for the opportunity to read your dissertion...
Geoff
