9781330893166: What Books to Read and How to Read: Being Suggestions for Those Who Would Seek the Broad Highways of Literature (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book is a valuable guide for a generation overwhelmed by the volume of books available. It offers suggestions for both choosing the best books to read and how to read them properly. Focused on English literature, the author's method consists of two steps: reading the one or two great standard works in each department of literature, then concentrating on the literary department which suits your mind. The author helpfully lists the characteristics of the books best suited to this method, and the most effective way to engage with them. Following these tips can help you achieve what the author calls "in literature what John Stuart Mill says every student should achieve in the domain of universal knowledge, namely, knowing something of everything, and everything of something". This book is an especially valuable resource for those looking to deepen and enrich their literary experiences.
