The Reader's Bill of Rights

I was at a workshop last Friday and they gave us this "Reader's Bill of Rights' to look at.


"The right not to read
The right to skip pages
The right not to finish
The right to reread
The right to read anything
The right to escapism
The right to read anywhere
The right to browse
The right to read aloud
The right to not defend your tastes."

From "Better than life" by Daniel Pennac.


If I could add another one it would be "The right to read multiple titles at the same time and to pick and choose among them as the whim takes you."

What would you add?
