Humanist Gatherer

For the reader who reads to recognize themselves in the world.

When a Humanist Gatherer is reading to understand the world, they might turn to literary nonfiction:

• The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Between the World and Me

When reading for escape, it may look like lyrical literary fiction:

• Gilead, Housekeeping, Stoner

Or when reading to apply, looking to art, design, history:

• Ways of Seeing, The Making of the English Working Class
