Many people may scoff at the title of this book, thinking that as most of us have already received at least ten years of education, we don’t need to be taught how to read a book. However, the authors believe that even if we are college graduates, schools have not taught us how to properly read a book.
Although we browse the internet for a variety of information, and sometimes even read novels for entertainment, this book suggests that while such type of reading is informative and entertaining, it does not help us improve our understanding and minds. We can only attain true growth when we read books that seem to surpass our abilities.
Moreover, our perspectives on how to read are not entirely correct. For example, many people think that reading is just another form of listening: it is a passive acquisition of information. However, the authors of this book refute such a view. They suggested that the reception involved in reading is not an act as simple as inheriting a fortune; it is rather more similar to a catcher catching a ball during a baseball game. The catcher's active initiative to catch the ball, is the same active intention as that of the pitcher and hitter. Therefore, reading is also an activity that requires an active initiative: the more intentional you are, the better the effect. In another example of our inaccurate perspective of reading, some people apply the same speed and reading method to whichever book they are browsing. But in fact, we need to apply different speeds and methods when reading different books.
