"On Reading in Relation to Literature" by Lafcadio Hearn is an insightful lecture series published in the early 20th century, likely in the 1920s. This book serves as an intellectual exploration of the art of reading and its significant role in understanding and appreciating literature. Through Hearn's examination, the reader is invited to consider the depths of literary engagement beyond mere consumption for amusement. In this book, Hearn critiques the common habits of reading that prioritize entertainment over critical engagement and deeper understanding. He emphasizes that many readers do not genuinely grasp the contents of the literature they claim to have read, resulting in a superficial interaction with texts. Hearn argues that true reading involves an active engagement with literature that resonates with personal integrity and intellectual development. By illustrating the difference between reading for mere amusement and reading for deeper insight, he underscores the importance of cultivating a discerning taste and appreciation for literature that contributes to one's intellectual growth over time.
