With more than half a million paperback copies in print and now in
this stunning hardcover keepsake edition, " How to Read a Book" is
the classic and definitive guide to reading comprehension for
students of literature, scholars across disciplines, and anyone who
just loves to read.
Originally written in 1940 and first published by Simon &
Schuster in 1972, "How to Read a Book" introduces and elucidates
the various levels of reading and how to achieve them in order to
gain the most understanding and insight from any book. From
elementary reading, through systematic skimming and inspectional
reading, to speed reading and beyond, readers will learn when and
how to "judge a book by its cover," perceive structure no matter
the prose, read critically, and extract the author's message from
the text.
Also included are specific reading techniques that work best for
reading particular genres, whether they be practical books,
imaginative literature, plays, poetry, history, science and
mathematics, philosophy, or social science works. A recommended
reading list and multiple comprehension tests are incorporated as
well in order to measure progress in reading skills, speed, and
understanding.
As poignant and applicable today as it was nearly seventy-five
years ago, this beautiful hardcover edition is the perfect way to
rediscover "How to Read a Book," the best and most successful guide
to reading comprehension.
