Who’s some of your favorite essay writers? Do you feel conflicted when you don’t personally like a book that’s a classic and/or criticially acclaimed— do you assume it’s because you’re missing context or perspective, or do you think it’s just not for you and move on?

Much has been said about the physical reactions that emerge in readers of books like "Crime and Punishment" and "The Magic Mountain", I myself must say that I felt a strange temporal perception when I read Mann's book for the first time. Do you usually have physical reactions when reading? Increased body temperature, nausea or something like that?

Since you read some very challenging books by anyone's standards, how do you manage when you know you're in for a slog? I used to call them my "mug of coffee and bright lights" books.
