Fine, thoughtful piece by Zadie Smith. However, I'm not sure I believe, or want to believe, that "Reading, done properly, is every bit as tough as writing." Yes, it takes great attention and even well-focused repetition to comprehend what a good writer is trying to say. But the conception and writing and re-writing, and re-writing again is, I think, so much "tougher" than even the best reading. But what the hell do I know.
