Tim Challies Reads Books
…and this is how he does it.
How do you read books? Do you have any tips? Maybe you’d benefit reading How To Read A Book by Mortimer Adler (sadly, I’ve still not got around to reading it).

How To Read A Book by Mortimer Adler
A while ago I mentioned How To Read A Book by Mortimer Adler. Well yesterday, thank to Matt Newboult, I discovered you can download a copy from Scribd. It states on the site that it’s not breaking any copyright and if the description at Scribd is accurate then you should probably read it:
“Until this book is read, all other books are moot.”
Update
It appears the file linked has been deleted. If you search for the title at Scribd there is a revised edition hosted there.

Tim Challies, Reading and 10MillionWords
Tim Challies made the big announcement today. He is launching a new blog entitled 10MillionWords. What will the blog be? Where will Tim get 10 million words? Tim states:
In 2010 I intend to read all of the New York Times bestsellers.
Now that’s a mammoth task! You know I desire to be able to read faster and more effectively, so I’d love to be able to read 10 million words in 2010. This project of Tim’s should provide for some very interesting reflections on modern culture.
Praying for you Tim!
You can visit 10MillionWords and/or follow the blog on Twitter.

How to Read
Reading is a blessing as it enriches greatly, but it can be a curse as well. As reading for most people is time consuming it can be a hard juggling act to find the balance between reading what you need to read (for work or schooling) and reading what you want to read. What’s the cure? I don’t know, but maybe learning how to read — and how to read quickly – will be a start.
Yesterday, Stephen McDonald pointed me to an article entitled How to Speed Read Like Theodore Roosevelt.
Today, James H. Grant, Jr. recommended the book How to Read a Book
Now I just need to find enough time to read both the article and the book.
