How to Read a Book

Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren, 1972

The classic guide to reading actively. Useful for any book club.

Talk about it

  1. How do you read now, and which of Adler's levels of reading do you reach?
  2. Which of his methods would help your club talk about a book?
  3. Is this kind of active reading worth the effort for every book? Which ones?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
