Slow Reading in a Hurried Age
Slow Reading in a Hurried Age | David Mikics
7 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Reading, David Mikics says, should not be drudgery, and not mere information-gathering or escape either, but a way to live life at a higher pitch. Slow Reading in a Hurried Age is a practical guide for anyone who yearns for a more meaningful, satisfying reading experience, as well as sharper reading skills and improved concentration.

Thanks @Eggs for the tag. Sorry for the late reply. I like to keep my reading challenges simple.. how many can I read in the year, as I want to mostly enjoy my reading and not feel any pressure to rush🤔
However this year has been a slow year.. but I‘ve read some brilliant books and haven‘t bailed on any👍🏼
I‘ve also spent time crafting, painting and gardening...putting up old fence posts and making mosaic tiles ❤️🌿🌹

I think this is a pretty great explanation of why so many of us love to pick up a #novel as our favorite leisure activity 😊

#QuotsyNov17 Day 30 — I finished, woo hoo! Thanks @TK-421 for hosting!

I‘m really feeling this #paradox lately. Less time online and more time reading would do me a world of good! #QuotsyNov17 Day 29

I am the slow reader in a family of speed readers. If I try to read faster, I lose comprehension. Citing this link, maybe I was ahead of my time? Could I actually be the cool kid 😎 #SlowRead #ReadJanuary @RealLifeReading http://slowreadingco.com/

quirkyreader It does 't matter how fast you read just as long as you enjoy what you are reading. 🐸🐙 7y
