My goal is to learn, which involves reading. The question is: How can one read efficiently, capture relevant ideas and so on... Mortimer J. Adler book will show you how. These books are a must for those who are studying.
Book 1 (By Mortimer J. Adler): How to Read a Book, originally published in 1940, has become a rare phenomenon, a living classic. It is the best and most successful guide to reading comprehension for the general reader. And now it has been completely rewritten and updated.You are told about the various levels of reading and how to achieve them -- from elementary reading, through systematic skimming and inspectional reading, to speed reading, you learn how to pigeonhole a book, X-ray it, extract the author's message, criticize. You are taught the different reading techniques for reading practical books, imaginative literature, plays, poetry, history, science and mathematics, philosophy and social science.Finally, the authors offer a recommended reading list and supply reading tests whereby you can measure your own progress in reading skills, comprehension and speed.
Book 2 (By Mortimer J. Adler; Simon and Schuster, 1967.): The Art of Getting a Liberal Education. Book is 404 pgs. Check out this link: http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=978814#
