The Eclectic Reader

Episode 5: Reading to Learn vs. Reading for Fun, making time to read and reading with purpose


Listen Later

Curtis and Chelsey share how they balance reading for fun and reading to learn. They also talk about how to prioritize reading within busy schedules, why readers should be well-rounded, and of course, which books to read next. They also wade into vulnerable territory and discuss how their privilege affects what they read.
