"Reader, who are you now?" by Kamila Augustyn is a comprehensive study that explores the reading habits and motivations of adult Polish readers. The research is based on qualitative interviews and highlights how various life circumstances and experiences influence reading behavior. Augustyn analyzes how readers interact with books, the emotions they experience while reading, and how their reading habits change over time. The research is interdisciplinary, incorporating insights from literary studies, psychology, and neuroscience. The work is divided into three main sections: preparation for reading, the act of reading itself, and reflection after reading. This structure allows for an understanding of the complex processes of reading and the individual narratives that readers construct about themselves. The study offers valuable insights into the dynamics of reading and the personal significance that books can hold for different people.
