Aprašymas

If the thought of embarking on another doorstopper novel makes you break out in a cold sweat, it might be time to pick up this book.

In a fast-paced world full of distraction, engaging with challenging texts can feel like an impossible task. But it doesn't have to be this way. This is the playbook for all readers who want to feel more connected to the texts they encounter.

In a lively and accessible style, Robin Waldun helps readers to answer the question 'what are we really looking for in a novel?'. The first chapters show readers how to train their powers of perception and attention - and outline some of the key concepts which are needed to engage with fiction. Part 2 is about immersion: this section equips readers with the tools and the strategies for engaging deeply and for becoming immersed in books. Part 3 looks at how to engage with and compare different academic sources. Finding a way through conflicting viewpoints can be a difficult skill for many students. Part 4 considers how best to distil one's thinking, take notes, and stay organised. The final section of the book puts forward a range of strategies for articulating one's ideas in writing. It will show readers how to perfect their essay style and guidance on how to avoid getting stuck during the writing process.
