How to Read a Book
This is honestly a great guide to the kinds of reading you can do, and how and why to do them. My wife loves to joke about this book, pretending to hold it upside down and sound out the letters: hhooooowww tooooo rrreeeeaaad. That's a testament to its title, which is excellent. I read it first twenty years ago or more and with I had read it earlier!
