Curious Reader

Isn't it true that curiosity killed the cat? Perhaps. But what may be true of felines does not necessarily apply to humans. We are who we are because of our inquisitiveness and our insatiable appetite for knowledge. Today more than ever the vast expanses of knowledge stand open to everyone who has a curious mind. But there is one problem facing every pursuer of wisdom. The number of new volumes on any imaginable subject that appear every year, month, and even every day, is staggering. Reading all the books that are worth studying would take an inconceivably huge amount of time, not to mention vast sums of money.

But this problem can be easily remedied. Curious Reader offers a series of expert short study guides to the most influential works of recent times. These summaries are specifically tailored to the needs of an intelligent reader whose time and resources are limited. Each book in the series contains a concise, accurate, and easy-to-understand condensation of the original work, which can be read in no more than two hours. On top of that in each book you'll find a list of highlights, emphasizing the most important claims and arguments of the original text. The Curious Reader summaries are also provided with extended comments which explain, correct and expand on the original material, giving you an additional bonus. The list of Curious Reader guides is constantly updated, so if you don't see the title you are interested in, do come back to check on it later.
