An enjoyable essay that combines reasonably technical information about brain function in reading and its acquisition with literary references and examples. It flows well and gives a good overview. I found it entertaining to read it as an audiobook, and to identify the researcher or writer whose work she was describing before she named it. I knew all that Goodglass and Geschwind would resurface some day long after my college course on aphasia.
