Mikita Brottman wonders, just why is reading so great? It's a
solitary practice, one that takes away from time that could be
spent developing important social networking skills. Reading's not
required for health, happiness, or a loving family. And, if reading
is so important, why are catchy slogans like "Reading Changes
Lives" and "Champions Read" needed to hammer the point home?
Fearlessly tackling the notion that nonreaders are doomed to lives
of despair and mental decay, Brottman makes the case that the value
of reading lies not in its ability to ward off Alzheimer's or that
it's a pleasant hobby. Rather, she argues that like that other
well-known, solitary vice, masturbation, reading is ultimately not
an act of pleasure but a tool for self-exploration, one that allows
people to see the world through the eyes of others and lets them
travel deep into the darkness of the human condition.
