"Reading is an act of resistance in a landscape
of distraction.... It requires us to pace ourselves. It returns us to a
reckoning with time. In the midst of a book, we have no choice but to be
patient, to take each thing in its moment, to let the narrative prevail. We
regain the world by withdrawing from it just a little, by stepping back from
the noise." ―Book critic and editor David Ulin,
The Lost Art of Reading: Why Books Matter in a Distracted Time (2010)
