A Velocity of Being: Letters to a Young Reader
by Claudia Zoe Bedrick, Maria Popova
Everyone, at any stage of their reading journey, needs to read this book!
I started marking pages with particular letters that I wanted to remember and share with friends, but too quickly I ran out of post-it notes!
This is a book of letters and amazing illustrations about reading from writers, artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and philosophers.
As an example, Naomi Wolf started her letter –
“Dear Person, Why Read? Because you only have one life but reading gives you many lives.”
Or Amanda Peters, -
"Dear Person-Who-Is-Afraid-Of-Books, Don’t forget: You don’t have to finish every book you start!”
How many times did I feel I needed to – well, as a Book Discussion group facilitator – probably, always! How many times would I have preferred not to continue on?! Those who have read along side of me, most likely already have that answer…
This book is a 250-page love letter to the kid we used to be, written and illustrated by people whose character has been shaped by a life of reading. It is worth taking a break from your regular fiction reads.
