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

informative reflective slow-paced

3.75

I know I enjoyed this much more than Proust and the Squid but I could not lead an unprompted discussion on it at this point... 

MY OWN RATING SCALE BELOW:

 1 šŸ’© This shouldnā€™t be a book, at least in my universe. Throw it away, who even cares. Why am I even spending the time logging that I read it?

1.5 DNF because maybe thereā€™s a chance there was something good in the part I DNF

2 šŸ˜‘ See 2.5 but maybe I was also uncomfortable sitting there or got a papercut or the cover art just sucked. Unpleasant reading experience all around

ā€”-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.5 Completely average. Iā€™m not mad at the time spent with it but not especially grateful for it either. Hopefully I had good snacks. I accept that it could be a 5 for someone else and Iā€™m happy for them

3 šŸ™‚ I will admit to reading this if someone directly asked but I will not volunteer much to a conversation about it because I didnā€™t really care and would rather be playing Balatro

3.5 This is the other end of ā€œaverageā€. Itā€™s fine, it has good stuff. Not memorable enough for me to recommend. Not interesting enough to spend time on Google going a lot deeper

ā€”-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 šŸ˜„ Good, great, well-liked, Iā€™m a fanā€¦just not a favorite for a handful of reasons that I can name, and all things canā€™t be your favorites

4.5 Complete enjoyment. Would struggle to say bad things about this book, but maybe it just didnā€™t get me personally in the way others could. I will still have spent time during and after looking up periphery stuff to the book

5 šŸ¤Æ This will stay with me. I will own a nice copy of this book so that I can touch it and have it in my home. I will consider naming a child after this book. Even when I forget major parts of this book I will still just feel that it is important to me. All the things. Would reread.
