I really like this concept. This is kind of how I feel when I read...drawn in. The far left side feels a bit empty ...maybe a slightly different crop. Great job!
I like feel of this image - makes me think of those times when you really get into a book and have to find out what happens next - you just can't set it down, even though you're exhausted and really should be going to sleep.
I like the idea of giving movement to the subject but I think having a clearer section in focus could have added to the overall image as this is tending towards the dark-and-blurry end of the spectrum.
