 I'm writing a short essay (a subsection of a chapter) about the art of purposeful browsing. Came across Virginia Woolf's remarks on "the learner" versus "the reader" in her "Hours in a Library." Anyone know of other essays, musings, speculations on these kinds of themes? #AmReading #Reading #libraries #browsing #research @5e7c66f8 ?
