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

informative

3.0

I liked this much better than Proust and The Squid. It did speak to some of the challenges I have faced myself with reading in recent years, much more so than Proust and the Squid did. I am curious about the challenges readers old and new face and I wonder how the challenge will truly be surmounted. There seems to be so much weighing against the deep reader these days. We value visual content, quick switching, and endless entertainment. Over the past year of beginning a reading habit I have read things much deeper than a lot of the content I was watching. I wonder though if the draw of the quick video clips will win out.
