9. “Reading a book is a meditative act, but it doesn’t
involve clearing the mind. It involves a filling, or
replenishing, of the mind. Readers disengage their
attention from the outward flow of passing stimuli
in order to engage it more deeply with an inward
flow of words, ideas, and emotions. That is the
unique mental process of deep reading.”
Nicholas Carr, The Shallows
