08 - The Art of Reading

What this episode covers

Okay, so technically speaking, reading is not an art. The book is the art. But the point is that reading is more complicated than one might think! You have to decide what to read, and that means saying “no” to a lot of other reading. Barry and Aaron go back to forth about how they decide what to read. Barry points out there are different seasons in life that will dictate your reading choices. Aaron shares how much of his reading is affected by his conviction a personal God inspired the Bible. Both agree that Netflix and the like are not friends to reading in the twenty-first century. There is something to be gained through flipping the pages of a book that can’t be captured by the most epic movie. Time will tell. In the meantime, consider putting down your smartphone and picking up a book.
