- Think of reading as a conversation with the authors of the book. We must constantly reflect and ask questions as we read the book. - If we don't wonder and ask questions we can't really learn much from the book. --- Remember Bacon’s recommendation to the reader: “Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider" - Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren in [[How to Read a Book]]
