Mortimer Adler on Reading

A site called The Radical Academy <http://radicalacademy.com/adlerdirectory.htm> keeps an archive of Adler material online. Here are links to four of his articles on reading:

• How to Read a Difficult Book <http://radicalacademy.com/adlerreaddifbk.htm>
• How to Mark a Book <http://radicalacademy.com/adlermarkabook.htm>
• How to Keep Awake While Reading <http://radicalacademy.com/adlerkeepawake.htm>
• Reading as Learning by Discovery <http://radicalacademy.com/adlerlearnbydis.htm>

Moreover, at Amazon.com one can read 37 pages of Adler's famous book, How to Read a Book, which he revised in 1972. This guide is of general interest when thinking about how we read, though he devotes few pages to the act of reading literature.
