Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com

Summary:

How to Read a Book, originally published in 1940, has become a rare phenomenon, a living classic. It is the best and most successful guide to reading comprehension for the general reader. And now it has been completely rewritten and updated.

You are told about the various levels of reading and how to achieve them -- from elementary reading, through systematic skimming and inspectional reading, to speed reading, you learn how to pigeonhole a book, X-ray it, extract the author's message, criticize. You are taught the different reading techniques for reading practical books, imaginative literature, plays, poetry, history, science and mathematics, philosophy and social science.

Finally, the authors offer a recommended reading list and supply reading tests whereby you can measure your own progress in reading skills, comprehension and speed.

Probably the most important book that you will ever read
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

It is a conundrum that you have to read a book on how to read a book but the author has done a brilliant job of summarizing techniques for better comprehension . I have adapted some of these techniques to read technical journals and I can testify to the effectiveness of these techniques. A must read!! I wish our school boards would have this book as a must read for sophomores and juniors in high school

don't miss it
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

you may miss every other book but not this one, it is rewarding just as it's name to teach you "how to read a book"

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!

I was browsing on amazon for LSAT prep books and I came across this particular book. How to Read a Book?! I know how to read a book.. or so I thought. I needed something to get me a higher score on the reading comprehension. Even though I didn't end up taking the LSATs, I think this book really opened my eyes up to how a book should be read. A MUST for college students. Get it earlier, and you'll have an easier time writing papers.

I recieved this book from treasurehopper in acceptable condition. I was glad to have recieved a detailed note with the book explaining the condition of the book and how to contact the seller should I need too. I would continue ordering from this seller. I recieved this book very fast and in time to read with my homework textbooks. Thanks!

Educational Experience
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I thought I knew how to read well until I read this book. This has changed the way I will read books, magazines, and newspapers from now on. Well worth the price to learn to read well.
