The Lost Art of Reading
Synopsis
This book, by a former LA Times book critic, explores the profound consequences of reading in our modern world. It connects critical thinking to engaged citizenship and resistance, especially in the age of fake news and information silos. The author argues for reading as a vital political act, both publicly and privately, that expands our understanding and keeps us engaged with the world.
