Diamonds in the Trash, or, Why Do I Read the Way I Read?

#ramble #literarytheory #GarbAugust

In numerous videos I have talked about how I read, or the ways that I enjoy engaging art in order to make reading more fun for me. Right now this feels especially pertinent, being an ordained monk who has sunk myself into a month’s worth of trashy fiction!

This video is a little bit of a more extended ramble about how I came to read the way that I do, what benefits I think it brings to my reading, and an example of this reading using a short story I recently finished for GarbAugust.

Hopefully there is something interesting for you in this (perhaps long-winded?) ramble! What do you hope to get our of your reading experiences? Do you find certain genres or literary styles work for or against your reading goals?

Please be patient with these early videos, I am not used to being on camera in this way and it will probably take a while for me to feel comfortable in this format!
