#AcademicReading #ReadingPapers #AI #SpacedRepetitions

Lately I am coming across posts telling me how you can use AI for processing the articles you want to read quicker. At first my first thoughts were “yuck”. As I quite like reading academic articles.

Book cover of Paige McClanahan's The new tourist

After having read MacCannell's classic "The tourist" a while ago, I'm now turning to "The new tourist" by McClanahan. Exciting! #AcademicReading #TourismResearch

Interesting read, very seasonal. Will try to order a copy of this now. 🤓 #AcademicReading
