I set out to read a sample of this book, How to Read a Book, so that I could take it off my list. It comes highly recommended, but I thought I probably don't need to read it any more. Turns out, maybe I do. Initial thoughts...
"To achieve all the purposes of reading, the desideratum [requirement] must be the ability to read different things at different -appropriate- speeds, not everything at the greatest possible speed. As Pascal observed three hundred years ago, "When we read too fast or too slowly, we understand nothing."
~ Mortimer Adler, How to Read a Book, Preface
