How to Read a Book (A Touchstone book)

古典的良著。本の種類ごとの読み方について示唆を与えてくれます。

This is a very comprehensive book about how you can read better.If you follow all the procedures in the book, I am 100 percent you will become a master of reading.

Written in a style uncommon today with very rich vocabulary and detailed arguments. Wish I had read it before type of book.

大学院生の時に英語版で読みました。その後外山先生翻訳の日本語版も読みましたが、なんか雰囲気が違うなと思ってこちらに戻っています。そんなに難しい単語が頻出するわけでもなく、またこの本でまさに言っている通り重要なところ(所々話がまとまってる箇所や、イタリックで強調されている部分)を読めば、そんなに英語力が無くても言わんとしてる事は分かると思います。本を読むにも読み方がある。読み方にも4つのレベルがある。この本を読む前の自分はどの本も最初から最後までバカ真面目に読む、というものでしたが、この本を読んで、特にinspectional readingの必要性を知ってからは、本当に読書の効率が上がりました。(読むのが上手くなると、書くのもつられて上手くなっていくのは本当に嬉しいことです)本を読む、それも効率的に読む必要がある人には良書だと思います。オススメです。

届いたら、すぐ読み始めました。出版年代はちょっと前の本ですけど、とてもいい本です。

great

The irony of this book is that you can’t read it if you don’t know “how to read a book”. Maybe that’s why I can’t finish it!

本を読むにあたって、まずは子供が楽しむように読むこと、それからつまみ食い的に調べるために読む、さらに全体を理解して読む、最終的には、さまざまな分野の本を読んで自分で総合する、「温故知新」の読み方をする。それを教えてくれる本です。

Kitap okuma verimliliğini artırmak isteyenler için kavramsal açıdan gerçekten değerli bir kitap. Kitap okuma eylemine daha fazla anlam katmak isteyen herkese tavsiye ederim.

There are many things you will learn from this book that you didn’t know you could learn — and these things have to do with how to read a book.I’m not go to summarize it. I’m going to give you 3 things I learned.1. Every genre you read — legal document, fiction, non-fiction — uses its own terminology and definitions. Here are some examples I can think of: a scab to a doctor is different than a scab to a union rep; pork to a religious person means something different than pork to a pig farmer; you get the idea. When you read a book, look for the key words and how they are defined.2. When you find the key words, memorize and understand their meanings; they will be used throughout the piece — they are the glue that holds the work together. I’m currently reading through Criminal Law by Kent Roach, and knowing the primary importance of mens rea (intent to commit a crime) and actus reas (the violation of an offence) is instrumental in reading through how defences are built against charges for an offence.3. One would be wise not to read a book like running into a house to save someone from burning. There is no rush to read a book. Review the cover, table of contents, flip through each chapter to get a sense of the whole. Get a journal or open a word file and take notes as you read. Make your own outline of the book you’re reading. Write out key definitions — anything to help you better understand what you are reading.I suppose one could say How to Read Book teaches one how to deeply understand what one is reading. 5 out of 5 stars.

I have just realised reading this book that I had only one mode of reading and now understand why I struggled with some books and not getting the most from them.

Super livre. Très intéressant. Je conseille !!!

Excellent and very insightful book
