"Learning to Read and Write" Should Be on Adler's List of Great Books

Mortimer J. Adler (...) states as follows. "People who want to learn just need to pick up a book to read, it is as easy as that." But this is true for those who know how to read. .

Mortimer Adler converted me to a reader in this simple article "How to Mark a Book". In junior high school and most high school, I hate reading. No one can let me read a book.

(That is, at the first point, when you write it, when you annoy you, you remember the part bothering you, it is very strange thing?)
