Abstract

The article discusses the importance of reading in paper texts in promoting better knowledge and deep thinking about astronomy and other fields of study. David Ulin, author of the book "The Lost Art of Reading," notes that students and people are losing interest when reading literature from electronic gadget rather than paper texts. Ulin indicates that printed books and literature promote concentration because they require the reader to be patient to let the narrative prevail.
