Maybe the buggers ought to start paying us for performing their works and giving them life

With the way things are, they'd probably try to sue us for unauthorized performance.

that it is the reader who "performs" the literary work, the writer merely provides guidelines for that performance. On an analogy with music, the book is analogous to the score, but the reader is analogous to both the orchestra and the audience.

Yeah, I've read some of that stuff and there is some truth in it, I think. But where it goes off track is that it doesn't recognize the author as the conductor as well as the composer. Still, we all bring our unique selves to any book, and as a consequence, no one actually reads exactly the same book.

Therefore, we owe ourselves royalties...
