'Quinn provides an interesting treatise on the relationship between reading and literature, history and critical theory. In six chapters supported by extensive endnotes and an impressive bibliography, Quinn covers the history and protocols of literary criticism from Greek theorists to biblical references and classic literature to contemporary writers of young adult fiction… the last two chapters offer a fascinating discussion of “post-truth” and the relationship between reading and technology. Quinn has an interesting view of the relationship between reading and cultural practices.'
