Adleramma 7: "The Activity and Art of Reading"

 I don't know that I'm going to blog every chapter of this or whatever, but I'll get tonight's at least. Adler's most important point here is that reading is an active process. We don't just absorb information from a text but "catch" it, like a baseball catcher. He talks a lot about how newspapers are relatively easy to read, and don't require as much engagement as books. I think at least some people back in the 40s/70s probably needed to work to understand newspapers.

That was a very boring post. It's like one of those crappy discussion prompts for college.
