Rufus Griscum talks with author Marianne Wulf about the importance of deep reading. He says he and other readers don't have time to read as many books as they would like, so his club creates short summaries for them. The next big idea club delivers five key insights from a brand new book every day in 10 to 15 minutes of audio and text directly from the author.
Maryanne Wolf is a professor at UCLA and the renowned author of "Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain" and "Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World." She says deep reading makes you a better thinker, communicator, and citizen. But what happens if you lose the ability to read slowly, patiently, and critically? Is there anything you can do to get it back?
