How Should One Read a Book? by Virginia Woolf
hopeful
inspiring

4.0
While I have been counting books that I have read since December 20 as 2025 books, this is the first book that I truly finished in this new year, and I think I’m going to make that a new yearly reading practice.
While there are minor parts of Woolf’s argument here that I don’t necessarily agree with, namely, her request that readers give authors a more generous allowance than I think I will ever completely abide by, this was a sort of beautiful treatise on the joy of reading that I think could provide a meaningful reset to my reading year if made a regular practice.
