I read this book over a year ago and loved it so much that I gave it away within a week of finishing it. I wanted all my comrades to read it. Since then, I have given away 4 more copies and have yet to buy myself another copy.
Just finished the commentary when the Man comes around. Thoroughly enjoyed it. So much information. Planning on going through the rest of Douglas Wilson's commentary. Thanks again
Waiting for finances to purchase 4th grade bundle, 2nd and 1st grade stuff to start our first year of homeschool! Feeling excited and prepared! I will be anyways!
As Professor Kirk lamented, "What *do* they teach them in these schools?" Certainly nothing so helpful nor so exciting as this! They ought to amend that.
This book was tremendously helpful and much more accessible in comparison to Adler's book.
I was enriched by this book in every way. The many quotes from great writers mixed with the knowledge and experience of Andrew Naselli was a blessing for me. Looking forward to reading more for the enjoyment and enrichment it will bring.
The book called how to read a book has a picture of a book that says how to read a book on it. Great book
I read this aloud to my 8 and 10 year old, who made small groaning noises when we reached (what felt like) each page's numbered list. But I greatly appreciated the structure, and think it will help when referencing it in the future.
Loved the Carson, Lewis, and Piper quotes. Loved the focus on reading the Word everyday. Appreciated the education on 'skimming', or glancing through a book to consider purchasing it. Still don't know if I'd call that reading a book, but a useful skill to have.
The author is a thoughtful, well-read brother who truly loves books and wants everyone to get what they need from edifying reading.
The book was easy and enjoyable to read cover to cover. It relieved some “readers guilt,” reinvigorated my desire to read, and gave me great tools. It is concrete and specific rather than vague and general. I would highly recommend that you get it and read it! ;-)
I’ll admit I macro-read the book in its entirety but went back and micro-read Appendix B for wisdom on cultivating a love of reading for my children. Great book by Andy Naselli and Canon Press!
