the best moments in reading.

I just came across this quote in the community [livejournal.com profile] literaryquotes and found it post-worthy. I don't know the book it's taken from (although I might have heard of it), but I just love it when the following happens:

"The best moments in reading are when you come across something- a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person who you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours. "

-Hector, 'The History Boys', Alan Bennett

That is so true! And doesn't it feel so very special when it happens? That someone, somewhere is or was on the same wavelngth.
