How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading by Mortimer J. Adler, Charles Van Doren
2.0

It's a good book, there is valuable information in there. Achieving a certain level of reading ability has its worth if you want to get more out of your reading. I can also see how the knowledge might make someone a better writer.

But, I just couldn't bother to go through with it right now.

Maybe it's because of the book, maybe it's because I didn't see the value in quadrupling the time I would spend on reading a book to the extent the author suggests, or maybe I just wasn't enjoying myself reading this one.

I am sure existing summaries of this book would be similarly valuable if not more, though.
