Reading in Ekko

I spent my Sunday afternoon reading in “Ekko, Utrecht”:http://www.ekko.nl/site/ as some sort of preview of the “Mooie Woorden Festival”:http://www.festivalmooiewoorden.nl/, all of six segments spread over six hours, five to ten minutes each. I never knew that reading literature can be so straining for your body — I can still feel the standing upright, tensely hoping that people will like what you tell them.
