I just posted the following on the Non-Fiction thread. The reason that I'm posting it on this thread is because some of you folks may not visit there (tsk! tsk!). I want to let you know that the Whispersync companion to this free ebook is only $1.98.

Before you get scared away by the title of the book, which book is an introductory book on "cognitive approaches to literature and culture," the description assures us that the writing in this book is jargon-free. If not, well, maybe some of you can use a good, cheap soporific. ha

Why We Read Fiction: Theory of Mind and the Novel. By Lisa Zunshine. Rated 4 1/2 stars from 12 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $22.95; digital list price $1.99; Kindle price now $0.00. Ohio State University Press. 198 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Why-Read-Ficti...+and+the+Novel.

Book Description
Why We Read Fiction offers a lucid overview of the most exciting area of research in contemporary cognitive psychology known as "Theory of Mind" and discusses its implications for literary studies. It covers a broad range of fictional narratives, from Richardson’s Clarissa, Dostoyevski’s Crime and Punishment, and Austen’s Pride and Prejudice to Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, Nabokov’s Lolita, and Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon. Zunshine’s surprising new interpretations of well-known literary texts and popular cultural representations constantly prod her readers to rethink their own interest in fictional narrative. Written for a general audience, this study provides a jargon-free introduction to the rapidly growing interdisciplinary field known as cognitive approaches to literature and culture.
