Is reading under threat? No, says Alan Jacobs--but people do need help and encouragemnt to enjoy it to the full. Jacobs' experience as a lecturer and many-time author suggests that many readers lack confidence; they wonder whether they are reading well, with proper focus and attentiveness, with due discretion and discernment.
