I’d love to meet Cad from Lightfall! His wry observations, sense of adventure and unusually deep thoughts would be great for long walks

I would go philosophical and say that if someone defines themselves as a reader it doesn’t matter about the ‘book’.

I love reading to transport me to another world. When that’s been difficult during lockdown, I’ve found computer games have a similar effect.
Narratives in gaming have come so far since their inception. A different reading skill but not a lesser one.

Building on my previous comment, I think that graphics are especially rich for re-reading. It’s like a slow look - now that you know the narrative, you’re able to make links & connections to events you’ve experienced. It allows you to notice & pick up threads 🧶

There’s so much more to picturebooks that go beyond surface level meaning. The concurrence / convergence dynamic between illustration and word are so interesting to analyse. Sometimes a single sentence or image can just stop you in your tracks.

I’ve only just started on my Macfarlane reading journey after The Lost Words and The Lost Spells. He did a read-a-long of The Living Mountain, which mentions above. Meant to be a great read!

I would have to know why they defined as a non-reader to begin with. Sometimes it can be a delicate/sensitive issue.
There’s plenty of texts that might interest, engage or reignite the spark, but all about the connection first and foremost.

With a fair few friends having babies, I’m assuming they’re going to get a good amount of the ‘classics’ so I am always on the look out to introduce lesser known / more diverse texts to them.

Another lovely theme, Ben. Don’t know how you keep up with it all! Much appreciated. Looking forward to next week.
