The impression is fresh for a while. What is the first thing you do?

Do you discuss it? Do you write some kind of review for yourself? Do you explore professional reviews/analyses instead to compare the perspectives? Do you give yourself some time to form an opinion? Do you do something else?

    I think as long about it as it requires me to on my bed and then do something else. Then I might tell someone/some people about it.

    Rarely, when I absolutely had no idea wtf was happening, I made up a thesis and then looked up online what others think. Last time I had that was with Peter Handke’s Mein Tag im anderen Land 1. I was apparently right there with my thesis… but… still really didn’t know WHY. :D

    Mostly though I shove reading sessions into the day like taking out my phone, except if the book is REALLY exceptional (Schachnovelle 2, Der aufhaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui 3 or Traumnovelle 4).
