I struggle with older literature, but this was worth the struggle
This book gives reading a new angle. Adler argues, and after contemplating I totally agree, that there are primary and secondary teachers and that reading originals is easier to follow and provides the full knowledge. Primary are the ones who find/discover/create something new. When primary teachers publish their ideas and findings they explain how they arrived at their conclusions; ergo they explain the complete rationale. Secondary on the other hand use the knowledge of many primary teachers and teach using this. Relying only on secondary input is not sufficient, according to Adler, and readers should always go back and read the primary sources. Adler also gives advise on how to approach reading books. He thinks that a book should be read multiple times to fully understand its contents.
I really enjoyed this book. I felt like there was a lot of character growth for the main character and there was a good plot.
