Goodreads, but make it mindful: why I switched to a reading journal Papier’s reading journal is the low-tech way I made reading feel calmer and more intentional – and you don’t need to love reading to benefit from it

Lauren Gould at @theguardian.com is reading... our minds! This is why addabook exists: read with intention, write to remember (and not for an audience). While I appreciate the analog option, we find that digital is far more convenient. #booksky #slowreading www.theguardian.com/thefilter-us...

This page forced me to slow down because the text wasn’t in a normal paragraph. I couldn’t exactly skim it easily

Introducing addabook! At long last, we're ready to share this book journaling and tracking platform. It's designed for readers who want to slow down and reflect on what they read.

We’re just getting started. Please follow along, explore, and tell us what you think! #slowreading #booksky

"Much of what gives one's life meaning stems from accidents, interruptions, and serendipitous encounters: the 'off time' that a mechanistic view of experience seeks to eliminate." #donothing #anti-productivity #slowdown #self-care #idleness #slowliving #slowreading #amreading #booksky 💙📚

With snow forecast and winter properly settling in, these are the books we’re turning to for quiet, immersive reading ❄️📚

Does anyone else keep a commonplace book? I don't keep up with it very well, but I love looking back through the quotations I've written in there, and I often print out the cover of the book to paste in. #commonplacebook #slowliving #slowreading #booksky 💙📚 #books #bibliophile #reading #wintering

A arte de ler a internet devagar Leitura profunda, desaceleração cognitiva e design de atenção em um mundo de feeds acelerados

Sobre ler a internet devagar:

microtexturas do texto, pausas cognitivas e atenção como prática ativa.
Nem toda leitura precisa virar opinião.
Algumas precisam virar pensamento.

Pride and Prejudice I just finished Pride and Prejudice (1813) by Jane Austen. So so good. It's easy to see why this book is so loved. This completes my slow re-read of Jane Austen. I read all six of her main novels, tw...

Mansfield Park I just finished Mansfield Park (1814) by Jane Austen. So good! This was a re-read for me. I started it last month, reading just two chapters a day. I so enjoyed reading Emma this way for Jane Austen ...

I think it might be fun to start a band called The Freaks of a Cold-blooded Vanity just to see who gets it.
