Often I will read a previously published essay or review of mine, or maybe even part of one of my books. But today I'd like to be a little more off the cuff and talk about the need to return to reading, particularly reading books.
There's an article in The Atlantic Monthly, November 2024, called The Elite College Students Who Can't Read Books. To read a book in college, it helps to have read a book in high school, and this essay laments the lack of reading of books in high school and the fact that many college students are not prepared to read.
In this episode, I want to share my own reading journey and talk about what it might take to help students today embrace and strengthen their reading life.
