{"product_id":"the-art-of-reading","title":"The Art of Reading","description":"A beautiful celebratory tribute to the powers of one of our most undervalued skills.\n‘What you are doing right now is, cosmically speaking, against the odds.’\nAs young children, we are taught to read, but soon go on to forget just how miraculous a process it is, this turning of scratches and dots into understanding, unease and inspiration. Perhaps we need to stop and remember, stop and learn again how to read better.\nDamon Young shows us how to do exactly this, walking alongside some of the greatest readers who light a path for us ― Borges, Plato, Woolf. Young reads passionately, selectively, surprisingly ― from superhero noir to speculative realism, from Heidegger to Heinlein ― and shows his reader how cultivating their inner critic can expand their own lives as well as the lives of those on the pages of the books they love.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1947534025\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1947534025.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Young, Damon\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
