an original reader

You are invited to unfinish the book you are reading.

To purposely abandon the ending, no matter how intriguing you believe the conclusion might be.

The method works in every imaginable genre.

It presumes a Duchampian participation in the creation of the text, in which the reader is encouraged to become the writer.

A plot, after all, is nothing more than an amusement, an artificial structuring of certain elements that attempt to give meaning to the word 'time.' And surely all the great plots have already been written, over and over and over again.

Besides, how predictable to read a book from beginning to end. How presumptuous for a writer to write such a book!

Better to sit back and listen to others read snippets of their works-in-progress, to sip the free wine and eat the pretzels and leave the ending to others.
