Slow Reading

摘要

Slow Reading is a fast little book. I read it in one Friday afternoon in July, sitting on the steps of my library. I spent the morning sitting in my office, intending to read, but instead had overpowering "needs" to check my e-mail, edit a document, Google something, etc. Finally, I took the book and went outside. Sitting in the sun, I found myself marking the margins with questions, arguments, and commentary, but nevertheless . . . reading it all the way through.
