Perhaps we need to stop and remember, stop and learn again how to read better.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDamon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Damon Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947534025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947534025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribe Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/02\/2018 pg. 92","brand":"Damon Young","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983971057919,"sku":"9781947534025","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd4c7d03-c896-469f-a2be-89e4f2280e28.jpg?v=1683269773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-reading-damon-young-9781947534025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
