Reading takes you places.The last of these seems unidiomatic. There is a hint of French. "Placer quelqu'un" which is to recognize someone. Of course here there is a suggestion of wresting with a text that puts you in your place. In a less agonistic frame, reading offers you a place. It is an invitation to take up or resist.
Reading is a means of transformation.
Reading is a means of preservation.
Reading brings places to you.
Reading places you.
And so for day 713
