Left to his own devices on a sidewalk, Woody has the manner of someone searching for a lost earring. Often, having found the thing he was apparently looking for, he refuses to budge. It was only after we had spent a couple of weeks dragging him down our street that a friend advised that, without being given time to sniff at things, he was exhausting his body but not his mind, which was why he was often as antic after a walk as he was before. \u201cSmelling is like reading for them,\u201d the friend said.<\/p>\n<p>I grew up being told that reading makes you a more empathetic, nicer person; more recently, I\u2019ve heard that \u201cdeep reading\u201d (which means, essentially, reading a book) is the best way to reclaim your atrophying attention span. For some, who might prefer to outsource the activity and receive a quick description of what it was like, it\u2019s an anachronism. Headlines say that children are spending less of their spare time with books\u2014in Britain, the problem is a \u201crelentless\u201d focus on literacy, which sounds particularly Roald Dahl. What all these conversations are missing, of course, is the fact that reading is one of the most mysterious, pleasurable pastimes we have\u2014which is why we have put together a Summer issue that we believe will fill you with a strange feeling of yearning, like a dog at a tree stump who would like to stay longer than is feasible.
