I came across that same passage and I felt like it too was a really a distinctive way of looking at literature. Each page of literature is a different experience and embodies a different emotion. Just as each bottle of wine has its own taste, literature too has unique characteristics. As a reader, one must savor the flavor of each line that is written and at the same time, the reader must also have their own preferences. Since literature can be so diverse and individual, I feel that is important to recognize that there is a difference in the way that literature affects different people from all walks of life. For example, I don't think that hard core racist or Ku Klux Klan are going to appreciate the same literature as civil rights activists.
