Alphabets: R for Reading

Alphabets: R for Reading

By Glasshouse Helsinki 

If you have not ever read Maria Popova´s Brain Pickings, long summer days and nights could be a great moment to dive into her exploration, what she reads and “her record of her own becoming as a person”.

On the Brain Pickings website, she traces brilliantly connections between artists, writers and scientists. In own book Figuring  (published 2020) she connects the thinking of visionary figures and translates abstract to sensuous, evocative subjects.

“Think before you speak. Read before you think “. – Fran Lebowitz

Guardian described her book as original survey of life, love and creativity; an intellectual odyssey that challenges easy categorization. Figuring out lives and thoughts during the summertime, days off from the ordinary, when thinking the world around us. Let us Maria Popova guide as with her imagination and with her beautiful writings. Let us take time for reading. Let the mind wonder.

“Think before you speak. Read before you think “. – Fran Lebowitz

“Reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking with someone else´s shoes for a while.” – Malorie Blackman

“I read a book one day and my whole life was changed.” Orham Pamuk
