If you’ve ever felt like an imposter when it comes to being well-read, this conversation is for you. In this episode of Persuasion, Erin Straza and Hannah Anderson kick off their fall series based on the value of reading, in all its forms. Erin and Hannah share about their own reading habits and gaps, and how they’ve often experienced imposter syndrome when it’s discovered they haven’t read a certain book that others deem important. Reality is there are simply too many great books to read. And that is a glorious problem to have! With thousands of new titles released each year, and thousands of great books from centuries past, there is simply no way any of us could read everything. With that pressure removed, we are free to enter into a new book to experience it without shame. Reading in this way allows us to glean all we can from the prose and the lessons embedded within.
For this series, Erin and Hannah will host a series of discussions around a classic that’s rich with meaning: Frankenstein: A Guide to Reading and Reflecting (Karen Swallow Prior, Mary Shelley) from B&H Publishing. Each episode, Erin and Hannah will dive into this classic by Mary Shelley to discuss how the themes speak to our lives today.
We hope you will read along, but even if you don’t, there’s no shame! You will still enjoy the series of conversations covering themes of identity, formation, creation, and community.
