Even people who read a lot can learn something from this book. At least, that's the theory. I'm about to find out.

I like the differentiation between reading for information and reading for understanding. To me, you have to have a certain amount of information and understanding of other material, gained through life experience, before you are able to understand new reading material. In teaching, they call this “scaffolding”. An example, is a younger child trying to read a romance. If they are still in the years where the opposite sex has ‘cooties’, they will not be able to understand the characters in the book.

When I was a child, my mother instructed me to read a book with a dictionary close at hand. If I didn't understand a certain word, I was to look up the meaning before I proceeded further in the book. I still look up words in the dictionary while I'm reading, to this day. I figure that if I haven't understood a certain word, then I'm not fully grasping the significance of what I'm reading.

Unless I’m reading for my job, I’m always reading to be entertained. Sure learning is good but this is another form of entertainment for me. That’s weird that they seem to feel otherwise or that people that primarily read for pleasure wouldn’t be interested in improving their experience.

I think my listening ability is better than my reading ability. I can listen to audio books or have my app read books to me for hours and I stay focused and it’s not exhausting. But reading books I can’t seem to pace myself and my attention wanders more than I would like and I need to reread pages sometimes because my mind was literally somewhere else when I supposedly read it.

I have this book but haven’t read it. I will now. Thanks!

It’s so sad that reading,learning, writing, time management, how to handle finances etc.

I’ve heard of Mortimer Adler, and this book, but have never read it. This sounds like it could be an interesting adventure and I am looking forward to the next chapter. 😀

Just found your channel, and have subscribed. I love non-fiction as well. I’ve read this book a few times. I look forward to you videos on it and other topics.
