When Kress addresses the importance of punctuation, it made me think of the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss. Both Kress and Truss highlight how punctuation creates meaning, something important to think about as text messages and informal emails are becoming primary forms of communication. I also thought that Kress' ideas about reading as semiosis were reminiscent of some of Foucault's theories about language and control.
