Consider the following questions:
What does literature offer an individual?
How has the importance of reading changed from earlier eras (pre-digital/audio/visual media) to our present day? Do you think we read differently now than we did in prior generations?
Do you think Skwiot's and Clugston's quote is valid? How can literature challenge our perspectives and why is that valuable, if at all?
Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length, not including references.
