Book Review: How to read a book, a classic guide to intelligent reading by Mortimer J. Adler & Charles Van Doren ISBN 067121280X

The book explains
  • Why activity is essence of good reading, the more active reading is, the better is
  • What is active reading: asking questions
  • What questions must be asked of any book, and how those questions must be answered in different ways for different kind of books
  • Four levels of reading, and how these are cumulative, earlier or lower levels being contained in later or higher ones

Great book can grow your mind, what have you read lately?
