How to Read Now
by Elaine Castillo
challenging
informative
medium-paced
How to Read Now is not for the faint of heart. Castillo wants to go beyond the old adage that reading helps build empathy and creates for diversified points of view. No, reading is much more than that. Reading is a chance for the reader to deconstruct the raw history of the time and place of not only the characters but the cultural context in which the book was written, the goals and the oversights of the reader and the publisher and the community surrounding the book. How to Read Now will push you to think even more critically about yourself and your reading habits.
It's an eye-opening reading that's best taken one chapter at a time. It's easy to fall into the hellhole that is reality when looking at our modern texts from a different point of view, but don't be troubled. If you've learned something new here, you're already becoming a better reader.
