Book Possession

I'm fascinated right now with the idea of "book possession"; the sense that books, when placed at the right angles at the right times, can not only take over human brains, but rewire them completely. If there happens to be one book which possesses my brain, it is certainly Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. The Reason, as such, is complicated. Behind Kant comes Keats and the Odes, followed by Milton, Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron, and (would you believe?) Crowley's Book of the Law, for arcane reasons. I am only going on record here to say that I have seen one of my books possess a human brain precisely once. Yet, I want to clarify and draw a demarcative line; for a book to occupy and possess a human brain, a process is enacted of such depth and profundity that no other phenomenon, in art or pop culture, could possibly compete with it. Now, that is merely a hypothesis; as is the fact that, in this process, the individual counts for everything and numbers, the masses, do not; but it is a strengthening principle, for someone who writes books, to understand what a real book as, as it moves through the world, and through myriad time/space zones.
