I suppose that writing and reading advice can be found just about anywhere these days (assuming that you can’t get something else to read or write for you, which is more likely the case). So it’s a rare pleasure to see Alan Jacobs (of How to Think fame) sharing a nice statement about reading that tracks well with his Pleasure of Reading in an Age of Distraction.  Lots of great advice in the piece.  And Jacobs is the first person to name the concept of “reading upstream” for me (it’s kind of a version of my “following the holy footnote”).
