Welcome to the another episode of Readers’ Co, where we nurture your reading culture.
In this episode, I’m joined by communication expert, writer, creative director, workshop curator and reader Reslane Lounici for a conversation challenging the way we see and treat books.
We explore the idea of “sanctifying” literature, why we put books on pedestals, and how that can hold us back from engaging with them. We talk about writing, annotating, and interacting with books as living objects, and the way books are marketed and consumed today.
