I was all excited for this. I read the first section, and it was some good ol' Adler, "Reading to improve yourself." And then I skimmed a little (like he says to do!) and I saw some subject specific bits, how to mark a book, etc. Great! 400 pages books condensed down to 100ish. Just what I wanted HtRaB to be. Except, not really. Instead of a condensed version of the "How to read..." individual subjects, it's a real broad overview of the subject with quotes sprinkled through. Interesting, but not sure it was super illustrative. Not really well organized either. Could really use some numbered lists and/or bulleting.
As before, I really think Adler probably has a solid 100 pages of content, it's just a matter of putting it together right. Not sure where I'm going next, but see you all tomorrow!
