The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction

by Alan Jacobs

High-Level Thoughts

I have a lot of regrets about not reading more when I was younger. There are numerous excuses for this, especially in today’s world where so much is competing for your attention. However, this book really hits on how we can balance our busy lives while still enjoying the pleasures of reading in modern times.
