How to Read Now by Elaine Castillo

challenging medium-paced

5.0

Many folks will promote reading for reading's sake. The magic of books will make us empathetic, kind, and knowledgeable. But what if that is not your goal when reading? People can read for fun without thinking, without examining deeper meaning or thinking critically. In Elaine Castillo's HOw to Read Now, she highlights the dangers when one does not examine what one is reading. You are what you read.

Castillo examines whose stories are being told, who is represented, and who might be the unexpected reader in a larger white narrative. 

An illuminating narrative that should help one examine what one consumes.
