Mortimer J. Adler was Chairman of the Board of the Encyclopedia Britannica, Director of the Institute for Philosophical Research, and Honorary Trustee of the Aspen Institute. He authored more than fifty books.
Dr. Charles Van Doren earned advanced degrees in both literature and mathematics from Columbia University, where he later taught English and was the Assistant Director of the Institute for Philosophical Research. He also worked for Encyclopedia Britannica in Chicago.
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 and retention 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 for you to discover or rediscover How to Read a Book, a rare phenomenon and the best and most successful guide to reading comprehension.

圖書標籤: 閱讀 方法論 工具書 英文原版 英文版 關於書的書 自我提高 美國
第一次讀英文原版書,還好是用的kindle,不然讀幾句就要查字典就太麻煩瞭。讀起來感覺作者有點囉嗦瞭,幾乎每個點都要翻來覆去的講,再舉好多例子,尤其例子方麵,英文人名加作品名讓我很頭疼,都需要查百度,然後纔發現,哦原來是這本書,很是影響閱讀節奏和閱讀體驗。
評分很多方法 但是覺得最大的問題還是我記性不好 讀著後麵就忘瞭前麵... n the paradox still stands... maybe... I need a book named how to read the 'how to read a book' in the first place
評分看瞭很久...
評分看商務印書館颱版翻譯實在看不下去瞭纔找瞭原版 這本書的名字應該叫做 Principles and methods of reading 花瞭大量篇幅分析讀書的原理,簡直是在手把手教小學生,同一個點翻來覆去講很久,雖然分析是有點兒道理但廢話挺多。還好英文看到廢話沒有中文那麼暴躁。
評分太囉嗦瞭,很簡單的一點翻來覆去的講,反復闡述為什麼要這麼做,還舉一些個人觀點濃重(可能有失偏頗)的例子解釋,感覺作者把讀者視作nc
