I'm a blogger and I take books slow. :) However, I know what she means, for those book bloggers who review books, it can be a challenge to slow down and absorb what you're reading.Unfinished Personhttp://unfinishedperson.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-85164471102292310172012-04-08T09:42:45.525-05:002012-04-08T09:42:45.525-05:00Have to agree with the commenter who said this sou...Have to agree with the commenter who said this sounds a bit snobby. The idea of Slow Reading as in putting aside plenty of time for it and not rushing a great book is a wonderful one. But calling non-classics "empty calories"?

The few I've read in the last little while have bent my mind in a way I didn't think was possible - like yoga. It feels good but can't be rushed.
