How to Read a Book: The Classical Guide to Intelligent Reading - Mortimer J. Adler - A Short Summary and Review

 

A short summary of How to Read a Book:

The steps you must take to get the most out of any book.

My favorite Mortimer J. Adler quote from the book:

"Any good argument can be put in a nutshell."

Questions to ponder while reading the book:

Do you skim?

Do you look up the definitions of unfamiliar words?

My review of How to Read a Book:

A great guide to good reading.

A formula to digest information thoroughly.

A little harder to read and quite academic.
