Well see now you're moving the goal-posts.

Of course the interpretation is your own (though I don't see how having an intermediary reader would preclude a listener from interpreting the words they're hearing any way they see fit also—provided the narrator isn't "ad-libbing" of course) when reading the book to yourself. But you were likening your own reading to creating a performance. That seems a bit of a reach to me.
