Luckily, it is obtained, while not too late; sadly, it has not been made compulsory, as it should be.

回答了从小到大意识到、没有意识到的许多问题。最后一部分Syntopicon到后面没有细读,有一点需要的时候自己先行、遇到困难或对这个行动有了一定理解之后再求阅的意思。不然感觉有剧透之嫌。其他没有什么可说的,这本书跟帮助理解和解决拖延症一样,都是说明书,安装则需要自己动手去做。不过这本说明书实在写得很好,本身就是一个典范、一个对自身主题的练习入门。

Four questions and fifteen practical rules teach you how to active read. I like the guide for reading poems best, you shouldn’t be afraid of not understanding the meaning of poems, you just have to read it repeatedly. The meaning will come out itself. (展开)

非常好的一本书。作者逻辑非常缜密全面,虽然有些啰嗦,但瑕不掩瑜。需要买来放在手边,常常温故知新。按照书中内容总结了阅读笔记模板,第一次感觉获得了用X光透视眼看书的能力。

读nonfiction果然不能看翻译版的,突然觉得自己之前错过了很多好作品,一个中心思想,写作与阅读是双向关联的,写的不清晰代表思考的不清晰,要时刻警惕这一点。
