Beside absorbing the contents of the book, its about drinking in the whole page, digesting the language, loving the smell of the ink and appreciating all the different kinds of paper, I am one who loves to Come Home to the printed page. I come home to myself when I hold a real book and turn its paper pages.So,Dear Author, I am in your debt, gratefully yours, a devoted Reader from the northeast provinces.AKM ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tremendous admiration for this work *by O***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2019* This book was recommended to me by another faculty member at the liberal arts university where I work. It was, in turn, recommended to him by another faculty member. I will write a letter to the Deans suggesting that this book be the focus of some sort of larger discussion of the curriculum. That's how powerful I found this.Reader, Come Home is, simultaneously, a foray into brain science, a defense of the traditional skills provided by reading deeply in history, philosophy, and literature, and a contemplation of the costs and opportunities of technological change. Girded by both scientific research and broad reading in the humanities, virtually every page has insights and information worth noting down. It is an incredibly rich and clearly written work.I find her prescriptions a little less convincing than the descriptions she offers, but this is a work that anybody raising children, anyone engaged in education, and anyone who cares about technology and society should read. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An eloquent, personal, yet scientific argument for deep reading *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018* Everyone who cares about the human mind and spirit needs to read Maryanne Wolf’s eloquent Reader, Come Home. Wolf is not only a passionate reader herself but a scholar of both reading and the brain. What’s more, she is a gifted writer, combining all of her talents to craft a book that is at once engaging and insightful.The book persuasively makes the case that deep, immersive reading is not just possible but much needed in our contemporary faster-than-a-speeding-digit world. Wolf reveals the science, along with the everyday praxis, of reading in print versus on a digital screen, explaining what we know – and don’t yet know – about ways in which digital reading may be affecting our brains. She gently but convincingly urges us not to abandon the profound mental benefits and personal joys of settling in with a book.
