Summary

This quote suggests that reading should be seen as a dialogue between the reader and the book. While all books have messages to convey, a good book goes beyond that and also acknowledges the thoughts and ideas of the reader. It implies that reading is more than simply receiving information; it involves active engagement and response. A good book understands its reader, listens to their thoughts, and invites them to be a part of the conversation.
