    Imagine not even being capable of thinking other people might think differently than yourself.

    Imagine taking a statement that doesn’t contain any value judgement about the writer and misinterpreting it for bragging.

    Imagine being so self absorbed, that you don’t only misinterpret intention so drastically, but doing that with the intent of defending literature interpretation.

      Think differently from me… hmm. The opinion I’m defending is that books can move you. No, I will not entertain the notion that books can’t be moving.

      I also didn’t say you made any value judgments about anything. I said you bragged, because your statement indeed comes across as an attempt to brag. Not a good one, though, of course.

      Also, im not “defending literature interpretation”.
