Reading and The Brain

“So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea.” ― Roald Dahl, Matilda

“The skill of reading with attention, with discernment, is as important today as ever, not merely because of the proliferation of mis-and disinformation, but also because of the continual integration of AI into our everyday lives as well as our research methods.” — Christopher Brown
