Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain ★★★☆☆

Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain ★★★☆☆

Read in 2025: Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain by Maryanne Wolf 📚

It meandered in the middle third and dragged on a bit toward the end, but otherwise, it was fantastic science about reading and brain physiology.
