Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World by Maryanne Wolf

Ultimately not what I was expecting or hoping for. The first half will leave you in terror at what digital media is doing to your brain. The second half focuses entirely on how to develop children into deep readers in a digital world. I was hoping for something that would inspire me to read more deeply and provide some strategies for doing so, but that isn't really what this book is about. It's about the underlying functions of our brains that allow us to read deeply and engage with complex texts, and then how to develop those functions in children. I came out of this feeling a bit hopeless and discouraged. No rating because this was an interesting investigation, but I didn't personally enjoy it much.
