But I wanted to tell you how amazing this book is. By recalling the Socrates objection against written form of knowledge and looking, from this perspective, on the current transformation of paper based to digital reading, Maryanne Wolf writes an incredible apology of deep reading. And about many more....
Just fantastic and must read for all interested in the current culture...
I have just come across your blog, and after spending roughly an hour reading many of your reviews, I am pleasantly surprised both my how wide your subject matter is, and how in-depth, detailed and honest you are in your reviews. I agree with much of what you say, and look foward to reading more of your insights.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteThx for the cheering comment !
It will encourage me to come back to the writing about all books I read and in time. For many reasons, the backlog of unwritten reviews is growing...
Holidays are coming, more time is at hand.
I will also visit your new blog
Cheers
