@pagesmegreads: we’re in the midst of a literary crisis, so here’s your reading guide to books that challenge and unsettle you, forcing you to think critically. the number of adults in the UK who read regularly is decreasing decade by decade. social media and screens are increasingly becoming more and more addictive, at the detriment of reading. there is also another concern; so much of what we consume is designed to be uncomplicated for the reader. increasingly, we’re given the answers before we’ve had the chance to ask questions, before we’ve had the space to form our own interpretations. this is where this reading guide comes in, a collection of books that resist neat conclusions and embrace complexity. not every reading experience should be effortless, not every book needs to be easy to understand. not every character needs to be likeable, nor does every ending need to be explained. most often, the book that demand the most from us are the ones that give us most in return. #bookrecs #literarycrisis #BookRecommendations #readinglist #BookTok
