It's funny you should mention revisiting old literature, for some very strange reason I've been doing this exact same thing. I see it as a chance to substitute screens full of dross with say the simple magnificence of Hemmingway (as you suggest) for a new, previously lay audience. I think it may trigger a literature revolution.
I think we’re all thinking it, Paul! I saw two articles online yesterday about trend forecasts and both were talking about ‘analogue’ v digital or experiences that were more clearly not AI. You might remember my January post last year was about putting down my phone. I’m not altogether anti tech - some parts I find really fun. Like this! But I do want to figure out how to use it to minimise my time on it, to do more of what I prefer—irl interaction and definitely reading! You’ve just reminded me to do a chapter before bed actually ~ thank u!
Thanks Frances! And you’re v welcome. Inspired by you + a few others, I’m now reading Women in Love ~ never read it before and borrowed from a friend about 8 years ago! Hope ur well :) x
