  • "I'm a great fan of Dr. Adler because I'm a speed reader teacher!"

    That is the worst opening line he could have possibly come up with.

  • totally agree. you can't be a great fan and not follow his advice. slow reading is the best way to read (especially when it comes to the classics). and to promote reading through a classic in one week??? oh my! :(

  • @andresilvaluiz1 It seems like he said twenty didn't he?

  • Someone could explain what he said at 0:50? Adler read twenty or three page per hour? Thanks!

  • "When I am reading a Great Book, I never read faster than three pages an hour and sometimes slower than that. And It´s hard, hard work."

    Because of that comment, I bought the How to Read a Book.

  • @travishenrichs I agree.

  • @themanhootch To be a fly on the wall during an Inklings "meeting"...Stuff of dreams. Interesting bit on McLnerny.

  • @NilDesperandum777 I think of him as a Christian humanist, which is the best version of that beast. Ralph McInerny is supposed to have led him to his conversion. Reminds me of Tolkien leading C.S. Lewis to Christ.

  • @themanhootch Adler at one time may have been a humanist and by his own confession a pagan, but long before his demise, was baptized Christian and remained so until his passing.

  • I am going to read "haves without have-nots"

  • lol! confusedmatthew, i think the caller is the one who was confused! i hope he has seen the error of his way.

  • LOL! Totally agree! Just what I was thinking, I mean you can just see him shudder inside at such a statement! I have some of his books....great works!
