The pleasures of reading in an age of distraction / Alan Jacobs. by Jacobs, Alan, 1958- New York : Oxford University Press, c2011. Subjects Reading.   Self-culture.   Study skills. ISBN:  9780199747498 (hbk. : acid-free paper) : 0199747490 (hbk. : acid-free paper) Description:  162 p. ; 22 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  The author argues that reading is alive and well in America. Millions of devoted readers support hundreds of enormous bookstores and online booksellers. Jacobs's interactions with his students and the readers of his own books, however, suggest that many readers lack confidence; they wonder whether they are reading well, with proper focus and attentiveness, with due discretion and discernment. Jacobs offers an insightful, accessible, and playfully irreverent guide for aspiring readers. Each chapter focuses on one aspect of approaching literary fiction, poetry, or nonfiction, and the book explores everything from the invention of silent reading, reading responsively, rereading, and reading on electronic devices.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 028.8 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList
