My own reading of Joyce is mediated through Paddy's Irish, Schubert (Winterreise), and Traviata (Bloom's solo). Music preferably from acoustic recordings.

Seriously, is there a distinction to be made between reading for facts/information (skim, scan, locate, focus) and reading as art (micro scale language and music in the voice, macro scale navigation of the plot)?

Does this distinction translate onto the Web? Is there a literary role for hypertext (pace Mark Bernstein)?
