How Much Land Does a Man Need?

Reading doesn't mean only sitting in solitude looking at a book and running one's eyes over the page. We can be reading even when we do not have a book in front of us, says Tolstoy. With great literature, we want to reread and that's partly due to introducing sleep cycles. If you went on a walk for an hour and a half and paused every 10 minutes to read the next little episode, which is only a couple of pages, you will have lived that book.
