Description
This is one for the books. In episode 104 of Overthink, Ellie and David consider what makes reading so rewarding, and, for many people today, so challenging! How did society shift toward inward silent reading and away from reading aloud in the Middle Ages? How have changes in teaching phonics and factors of classism, accessibility, and educational justice made it harder for the young to read? Why is reading philosophy so hard, and how can we increase our reading stamina?Check out the episode's extended cut here!Works DiscussedMarcel Proust, Journée des LecteursSimone de Beauvoir, Memoirs of a Dutiful DaughterJulie Andrews, MandyAdam Kotsko, “The Loss of Things I Took for Granted,” SlateAlberto Manguel, A History of ReadingDavid Abram, The Spell of the SensuousMaryanne Wolf, Proust and the SquidPatreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | Dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcastSupport the Show.
