Recenzje

...[a] fascinating collection...rather than dutifully map out the state of the field, Further Reading pushes at its boundaries and makes new connections, as its title suggests...This book is a substantial contribution to the study of reading not because it delivers a definitive picture of its subject, but because it delivers a sprawling and heterogeneous one.
