Resumo'Sometimes'., wrote Virginia Woolf to Ethel Smyth in I934, I think heaven must be one continuous unexhausted reading. Its a disembodied trance-like intense rapture that used to seize me as a girl, and comes back now and again down here [at Rodmell], with a violence that lays me low [... ] the state of reading consists in the complete elimination of the ego; and its the ego that erects itself like another part of the body I dont dare to name.1
