    Description

    Why invest time in reading literature? This episode answers just that, highlighting how stories enrich our lives, teach us empathy, and offer experiences that facts alone cannot. I'll discuss the dynamic relationship between reader and text, and how this interaction brings new meanings each time. Featuring Ralph Ellison's 'King of the Bingo Game,' I explore the transformative power of engaging with literature.IMPORTANT LINKS:? - Join my Newsletter Letter for weekly tips on reading deeply - https://www.thereadwellpodcast.com/newsletter? - Join The Read Well Book Club: https://thereadwellpodcast.com/book-club/
