I have a reading life. I learned to bookend my day, which means I begin with a book and I end with a book.

I don't know what it is.

You know, the repercussions of the digital culture are such that we never knew what I considered the... pernicious effects of the kind of efficiency that the digital screen gives us. So the book is the antithesis of the get it done and over with mode. Books have become like vinyl, you know, for though that Emily Dickinson would say for that select society, that shouldn't be the case.

So, Sean, I'm going to answer in two modes. I'm going to answer as a cognitive neuroscientist who studies the reading brain. Okay. And I'm going to answer as a former English literature major. So I'm going to first start with the cognitive neuroscience. The reality is that no one on this earth was meant to read. The brain had to build up a new circuit.

And that new circuit connects all these amazing parts of the brain, cognition, language, perception, memory, but also feeling, affect. So we build this circuitry. And then over time, we actually have the capacity to elaborate it. It becomes ever more sophisticated.

And when it becomes sophisticated, it begins to have a circuit I call the circuit for deep reading and figuring out how the new information meets or does not meet the information stored already. Most important to me are the three big deep reading processes. Empathy.
