Slow Reading examines the research in voluntary slow reading, from
the earliest references in religion and philosophy, to the practice
of close reading in the humanities, and the recent swell of
interest associated with the Slow Movement. It looks at the diverse
angles from which slow reading has been approached in education,
library sciences and media studies. Research in psychology and
neurophysiology provides a tentative explanation for the ongoing
role of slow reading. The theme of locality in the Slow Movement
provides insight into the importance of physical location in our
relationship with information. Most of all, Slow Reading represents
a rediscovery of the pleasure of reading for its own sake.
