Reading virtuously means first, reading closely, being faithful to both text and context, interpreting accurately and insightfully.
To read well is not to scour books for lessons on what to think. Rather, to read well is to be formed in how to think.
Reading virtuously requires us to pay attention to both form and content.
And this one just feels like it could be the tagline to this Join the Narrative project.
We are narrative animals whose very orientation to the world is fundamentally shaped by stories.
