Cool Idea of the Day: 'Reading Is Critical'

The Seminary Co-op Bookstores in Chicago are soliciting lists from booksellers, authors, friends of the store and customers that promote reading itself as resistance: "Reading is critical, in both senses of the word. Crucial, of course, insofar as it is a cornerstone of communication, a primary means by which we receive information. But it is also an active form of resistance, a tactic in the struggle against ignorance, misinformation, and manipulation. To read is to become knowledgeable; to become knowledgeable is to become powerful." The bookseller is posting one list per day on its blog, as well as across social media.
