Description: While The Reading Journals Volume One explores the development of self through what it means to be a reader, Volume Two is a different book altogether. The focuses still engage the self as a reader yet move into literary criticism, cultural analyses, and philosophy. Continuing her quest to be well-read beyond texts typical of college, Newark discusses Wolfe, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Kerouac, and Steinbeck (and many more). She also focuses on cultural analyses relevant to changes in society encompassing everything from hippies to survivalists, stress disorders to utopia, homeschooling to college teaching, sex to politics, and flu shots to Facebook—all of which are inspired by books. The result is a work of philosophy for the modern age, of critical thinking, of speculation about the depths of the human brain, and of undaunted liberality—a work that anyone who appreciates informed reading will understand. (341 Pages / Also available on Kindle for $6.95.) The author of numerous books, Susan Newark lives in the Sonoran Desert, is retired from teaching college English, and runs a publishing company.
