" ... each word that he writes coalesces with the memories, associations, and connotations that each reader bring to the page, which means that, in many ways, everybody ends up reading a different sentence" .... Readers find what they want in books." Oh, yes! How many times have we tried to discuss a book with someone and found that, though we'd read the same pages, we did not capture the same meaning? ( Same with films.) In my own writing, I never trust that my meaning will be apparent to the reader. I don't mind if they "misinterpret", as long as they find something of value, something that rings true to them. It is the best we can do, I think.
Is there a timeframe for that motivation to kick in, I don’t think so.. But are there some writers that has the capability to influence you more, definitely yes.
If time permits do hover around my publication Thanks..

Have read many an Amis piece in the last few days. This is one of the better ones. Great work.
"There are no rules..."
Beautifully done.
It’s always a pleasure to find a writer who inspires us. Great post.
I thought hard on Sunday and periodically since what Amis achieves for me that no other writer does. It is indeed the rush to the desk.
Some writers are gifted to awaken the inert writer in every being.
