*** Us By David Nicholls Review – The One Day Author Has Raised His Game ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/sep/28/us-david-nicholls-review-one-day-raised-game>
Matt Haig, The Guardian

> Yes, it is an easy book to read. Yes, it will sell millions. Yes, some people who don’t know any better will be snobby about it. But there is real philosophical depth amid the entertainment. Nicholls has a feel for the big stuff, even as he zooms in on the soft mints, making this a sad, funny, soulful joy of a book.

Jimmie Holland and Mindy Greenstein, Salon

> In older age, we contribute not only the wisdom collected over many years, we also contribute by serving as models of survival. Or, as my granddaughter says, “survivors of life.” And as role models for how to cope when things don’t work, including various body parts.



*** Read Slowly To Benefit Your Brain And Cut Stress ***
<http://m.wsj.com/articles/read-slowly-to-benefit-your-brain-and-cut-stress-1410823086?mobile=y>
Jeanne Whalen, Wall Street Journal

> The point of the club isn't to talk about literature, but to get away from pinging electronic devices and read, uninterrupted. The group calls itself the Slow Reading Club, and it is at the forefront of a movement populated by frazzled book lovers who miss old-school reading.
