The Committed Reader: Reading for Utility, Pleasure, and Fulfillment in the Twenty-First Century

by Robert A. Stebbins

This book is a study of committed reading, an activity animated by three main motives: utilitarian, pleasurable, and self-fulfilling. They are examined within the frameworks of library and information science and the serious leisure perspective as manifested across life's domains of work, leisure, and non-work obligation.
