Whatcha Reading?

 

By Frank Filocomo

ICYMI: I wrote about Reading Rhythms, a NYC-based literary group, for Front Porch Republic, easily one of my favorite online publications. 

From the article:

Though some folks were understandably timid at first, a wave of loquacity hit the room during our conversation time; everyone wanted to discuss what they had been reading. I even saw some people exchanging phone numbers and inquiring about the next event.

To sum up my thesis: reading does not necessarily have to be a solitary act; it can, in fact, be surprisingly communal, if done in the right context. 

I also encourage you to read Nadya Williams' piece about a more communitarian kind of reading here.  

By the way, I'm curious: what are you reading right now? Tell me in Frank's Forum, here. 

I recently started Coming Apart by Charles Murray, and I can already tell why it's such an important book...

Have a great week!
