“Letizia,” at her blog Reading Interrupted, writes about reading slowly.
We also like the question asked by author Roland Barthes that “Letizia” adorns her blog with:
“Has it ever happened, that as you were reading a book, you kept stopping as you read, not because you weren’t interested, but because you were: because of a flow of ideas, stimuli, associations? Simply put, have you ever read while looking up from your book?”

“People seem to think there is something inherently noble and virtuous in the desire to go for a walk. Any one thus desirous feels that he has a right to impose his will on whomever he sees comfortably settled in an arm-chair, reading.” - Max Beerbohm
From "Going Out for a Walk,"
in And Even Now (1920)
