tatteredcover: “Reading is an act of resistance in a landscape of distraction…. It requires us to pace ourselves. It returns us to a reckoning with time. In the midst of a book, we have no choice but to be patient, to take each thing in its moment, to let the narrative prevail. We regain the world by withdrawing from it just a little, by stepping back from the noise.” ~David Ulin, The Lost Art of Reading – Why Books Matter in a Distracted Time How to Survive the Age of Distraction by Johann Hari
