Does reading great literature expand our imagination and better our moral and social

sensibilities? For most people, it's just wishful thinking because there's no evidence that people

are morally or socially better for reading Tolstoy or other great books.

But just hold on a second there. Actually, there is such evidence, says US writer Annie

Murphy Paul. She argues in Time magazine that "deep reading", as opposed to browsing web

pages, makes us nicer and smarter.

Her evidence includes several studies carried out by some psychologists.

One is based in Canada. Two psychologists found that individuals who often read fiction

appear to be better able to understand other people, sympathize with them and view the world

from their perspective.

But this improvement is only possible if we do deep reading, which isn't just about

understanding the meaning of each word, Paul explains. Deep reading is "slow, devoted, rich in

sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity". Through processing details, comparisons,

and other literary devices, the reader's brain creates a mental representation as if the scene were

unfolding in real life.

“It's said that reading a good book is like falling in love with the writer. Paul cites another

study by psychologist Victor Nell from a university in South Africa, who found that when

readers are enjoying the experience most, the pace of their reading slows.

The combination of fast, fluent understanding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the

page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with their own thoughts, analysis, memories

and opinions. It's as if reader and writer were engaged in a deep and real conversation, like

people falling in love.

None of this is possible when we browse web pages. We will eventually lose the ability to

appreciate our literary heritage because novels, poems and other kinds of literature can be

understood only by readers whose brains are trained to read them. And even some educators just

meet young people where they are by adapting education to their onscreen habits.

With the electronic devices spreading universally, Paul warns, deep reading has become an

endangered practice. We should care about how we read as much as what we read. So pick up a

book, sit back, and let a spiritual journey begin that will take you places only deep reading can.
