idea: Open with the woman on the train — concrete image, then pivot to the argument.

We have been told, again and again, that attention is a scarce resource. The metaphor is honest enough — and yet, like a coin held too tightly, it leaves out something essential.

Slow reading is not a feat of endurance. It is a way of letting a sentence finish becoming itself.

attentive reading

Slow reading is not a feat of endurance — it is a way of letting a sentence finish becoming itself.

The first thing slow reading returns to us is the rhythm of a clause, and the small click of a word arriving in its proper place.

Where attention has been hollowed out by skimming, the practice of slow reading refills it — patiently, almost without our notice.
