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
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。
評分非常好的閱讀指南。培根說:書有可淺嘗者,有可吞食者,少數則須咀嚼消化。這本書詳細介紹瞭如何“淺嘗吞食”,即閱讀的第二層次,瀏覽。很多書其實隻需要瀏覽一下就夠瞭:瀏覽標題、封頁、封底、前言、目錄,選一兩章感興趣快速過一遍,隻需十幾分鍾,最多不超過一個小時,就看完一本書瞭,是不是很快呢?第二種瀏覽閱讀換句話說就是好讀書不求甚解,適用於看一些新領域的書,遇見不認識的術語不用停下來,而是快速把全書過一遍,這個也適用於看英文書,直接跳過生詞。如果想提高速度同時彆睡著,有個辦法,用手指帶著你的眼睛看。
評分Cute and humorous.任何讀法都能獲益的一本書。
評分作者認為讀書的目的有兩個,一個是獲取信息(for information),一個是獲取理解(for understanding)。但竊以為,讀書還有一個目的,即是為瞭樂趣(for pleasure)。子曰,知之者不如好之者,好之者不如樂之者,此之謂乎?也許這也是東西方文化的差彆。
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
