For the second marking period, I will read "How to Read and
Why" because I do not know how to read. Just kidding.
Harold Bloom, the author, takes the reader
through different types of texts, highlights some of the world’s most famous
pieces, and challenges the reader to pursue literature with a purpose. He urges
his readers to try and find themselves through language and literature. The
back cover immediately asks the question, "Information is endlessly
available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" This is a fascinating
question to me, and I hope Bloom gives his opinion throughout the text. I find
that this question is becoming more and more relevant as technology improves.
Overall, I am excited to start reading the book. I am interested
in reading and writing I have never
heard of (or at least read) a text about a subject like this. Hopefully
it can help me find myself.
