The neuroscience of reading

I feel really conflicted by the idea of "neuro lit crit" http://mhpbooks.com/mobylives/?p=14270
in that, on the one hand, I feel it has the potential to be terribly reductive regarding the act of reading, but on the other, I believe that reading is one of the most mentally complex things we do with our brains, and I'm intrigued by how something so abstract can be experienced so vividly.
