Maureen Corrigan, Critic-in- Residence and Lecturer in Georgetown University’s English Department, spoke to alumni over the 2007 Reunion Weekend in June. In her talk, entitled Everybody’s a Critic, she expressed her concern about the recent, tremendous decline in book reading and the production of literary publications in the United States. Corrigan, who is also a book reviewer for the National Public Radio show, “Fresh Air,” mentioned some helpful reading habits, which she feels would help people stay interested in snuggling up with a book before they fall asleep at night, such as alternating between fiction/non-fiction and heavy reading/lighter reading. More notes from the story of Corrigan’s passion for reading can be found in her book: Leave Me Alone, I’m Reading: Finding and Losing Myself in Books.
