Why are we reading nowadays?

Why are we reading nowadays?

• This idea never occurred to me before. I had assumed this to be the case, but Wolf managed to articulate it succinctly.
  • q I still bought many books, but more and more I read in them, rather than being whisked away by them. At some time impossible to pinpoint, I had begun to read more to be informed than to be immersed, much less to be transported.
• The simple concept: a reader creates a list not to be transformed, but to be merely informed. This is not inherently negative, but rather ineffectual.
  • Informed to do what exactly?
  • Reading is still an effortful process. We must allocate resources and manifest a semblance of intention.
  • Commence and complete reading, organize highlights from the book, find a quiet place to reflect, and process information from the book into something actionable in reality.
  • Reading is a catalyst for change. A person who embarks on a reading journey will be transformed by the end of it.
• The demanding reader doesn’t read to be informed; he reads to be transformed.
  • He knows how to apply someone else’s wisdom to reality.
  • The demanding reader is a master experimenter, who artfully manipulates ideas to transform the space he occupies.
