I hadn't thought so deeply about reading in these terms. But as someone who 3 years ago undertook to read more, and have blogged often about what I read, I am very aware of the fact that while, in general, I read when I am alone it is a very social activity. -- As an aside it is morning in the UK I am catching up on the virtual world of emails, blogs and microblogs on my eeePC. Before reading this I had exchanged tweets about a novel I read in 2007 and one of my contacts is just starting. The contact I have known for a while but only met him in person yesterday when we were at the same meeting. Really interesting. I hadn't thought so deeply about reading in these terms.
