Hi Wim,
I was wondering if you had any thoughts to share about the culture-bearing
book thread (or the newspaper in the History thread where Rick suggested you
were heading quality=meaning).
Is the reason that the meaning is in the relationship between a book and the
reader related to this Sufi saying?

The mere physical man is like the ant crawling
on the paper, who observes black lettering and
attributes its production to the pen and nothing more.
(El Ghazali, Alchemy of Happiness)
