Synopsis
How to Read a Book was first written in 1940 by Mortimer Adler. He co-authored a heavily revised edition in 1972 with Charles Van Doren, which gives guidelines for critically reading good and great books of any tradition, but refrains from recommending any book outside the Western tradition; the 1972 revision, in addition to the first edition, treats genres, inspectional and syntopical reading.
