How to Read Now by Elaine Castillo

DID NOT FINISH: 21%

I have tried several times to read this essay collection, and I continue to fall short. These essays are too long and kinda overwritten. Little was new to me (which, I know, is the point), but I prefer more terse essay collections. I think I will read a few essays I am most interested in, and leave the rest. I wish I could read in full, but sadly I cannot.
