Synopsis "How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading "

With half a million copies in print, How to Read a Book is the best and most successful guide to reading comprehension for the general reader, completely rewritten and updated with new material. A CNN Book of the Week: "Explains not just why we should read books, but how we should read them. It's masterfully done." -Farheed Zakaria Originally published in 1940, this book is a rare phenomenon, a living classic that introduces and elucidates the various levels of reading and how to achieve them--from elementary reading, through systematic skimming and inspectional reading, to speed reading. Readers will learn when and how to "judge a book by its cover," and also how to X-ray it, read critically, and extract the author's message from the text. Also included is instruction in the different techniques that work best for reading particular genres, such as practical books, imaginative literature, plays, poetry, history, science and mathematics, philosophy and social science works. Finally, the authors offer a recommended reading list and supply reading tests you can use measure your own progress in reading skills, comprehension, and speed.

Mortimer J. Adler (1902-2001) was an American philosopher, educator, and editor, noted for his work in promoting liberal education and the study of the great classics of philosophy. He earned his PhD in philosophy from Columbia University in 1928 and taught jurisprudence at the University of Chicago starting in 1930. Along with Robert M. Hutchins, he edited the series Great Books of the Western World in 1952.

Among his most influential works are How to Read a Book (1940), How to Think About God (1980), and Six Great Ideas (1981), all within the realm of philosophy and education. For his contributions to thought and education, he received the National Humanities Medal in 1976 and the Charles Frankel Prize in 1990.
