Greetings!  And a word...

Blanchot IS impossible, not a writer to wrap around.  One of the things I 
like about him, though, is that he has written about some very good books.  
You might read Kafka's The Castle, or any other book that he has written 
about.  Your own reading will keep you close to your own experience, and if 
Blanchot can reveal to you something about writing (and reading!) after 
that, you may want to read more of his essays - they belong to each other, 
no matter how discrete they are, and browsing from one to another as they 
make sense to you will open up his writing for you at your own pace.  It has 
been well worth the time for me.
