How to read like it matters.
We read more than any generation before us and remember less of it. The problem is not the quantity. It is the speed.
By Pebble House
To read like it matters is to read slowly enough to argue with the page. To mark it, question it, put it down and think. A book read this way leaves a mark; a book skimmed leaves nothing.
Make room for it
This kind of reading needs conditions: time, quiet, and a chair you are happy to sit in for an hour. It is one of the simplest pleasures a study house can protect.
Read fewer things. Read them properly. It is the better trade.
