Living Book: a book filled with vital (alive, possessing vitality) ideas written by one author who is passionate about the subject whose passion permeates writing filled with both quality language and also timeless truth, goodness, and beauty

The concept of Living Books is so often oversimplified and the result is a notion that we can simply “master” the art of choosing solely living books and our children will subsequently become great readers.
The reductionism often present in discussions about living books often results in the conversation not extending to the work of raising readers…
Which involves much more than simply being able to identify a living book but has to *start* with understanding living books in the first place.
Swipe for these things that are commonly missed or misunderstood when it comes to Living Books:
1️⃣ Living Books Are Not All You Should Be Reading…
2️⃣ Everything Not Living Isn’t Automatically Twaddle
3️⃣Silliness and Nonsense Aren’t Twaddle
4️⃣Quality is Objective, Taste is Subjective
5️⃣Personal Taste is Vital
6️⃣Mason’s Picker Wasn’t Perfect
7️⃣There Are More New Living Books Than Old
In my “Living Books for Every Subject” Workshop, I cover:
📖 Types of Books
📖 Defining Living Books & Twaddle
📖 What to DO and NOT Do With Books
📖 Choosing Living Books
📖 Utilizing Living Books (Books Shouldn’t Be “Used”)
📖 Developing Your Own Instincts and Taste
📖 The Spectrum of Quality in Books
📖 The Importance of Distinguishing Taste and the Danger of Pretentious Taste
📖 Developing and Protecting Personal Taste in Your Readers
📖 What You Should Expect From Living Science, History, Biography, and Literature
