Fourteen original essays about attention, rereading, and the hour you keep for yourself.

The Reading Hour is for people who still believe a chair, a lamp, and a closed door can change a day. These pieces follow the small ceremonies of reading: the first page after midnight, the book you return to when the world is loud, the sentence that stays in the mouth like a stone.

Inside: silence as a tool, annotation, pocket libraries, inherited shelves, reading in public, the ethics of quitting, and why finishing is not the same as understanding. A complete collection meant to be lived with, not skimmed.
