The Reading Wheel Review

Physical books are at once a conduit for conveying complex and well-developed ideas and an artifact of the time and place from which they come. While digital media has its place in social discourse, the book is an enduring piece of technology that has been one of the primary vehicles for shaping civilization. The Reading Wheel Review is an initiative designed to anchor sustained attention to books that truly matter, and to shape a substantive dialogue around them.
