Description

Slow Reading in a Hurried Age by David Mikics is a practical guide to help you cultivate a more meaningful and satisfying reading experience. By applying the author's fourteen preliminary rules, you can sharpen your reading skills and improve concentration, leading to a deeper understanding of the books you read. Mikics argues that good reading should not be drudgery or mere escape, but rather a way to live life at a higher pitch. He explores key genres, including short stories, novels, poems, plays, and essays, showing how slow reading can provide an immersive and fulfilling experience. By getting lost in the words and works of others, you can find yourself and discover new perspectives. A good book is a pathway to self-discovery, and Slow Reading in a Hurried Age offers a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their reading habits and appreciate literature more fully.
