Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World by Maryanne Wolf
5.0
Tremendously informative. If I hadn't decided to take a chance on this book, I would've gone on with an inkling of a certain truth I would longer deny to myself: That I became a victim to "passive cognitive complacency" as time went on and little did I do to make time for deep-reading, with the fervor and attention I used to as a child.
"To possess cognitive patience is to recover a rhythm of time that allows you to attend with consciousness and attention. You read quickly, till you are conscious of the thoughts to comprehend, the beauty to appreciate, the questions to remember, and, when fortunate, the insights to unfold." This book is more than a study of the advantages and detriments our digital world costs us compared to print media and I won't be forgetting the insights gleaned from these pages anytime soon.
