Becoming a Demanding Reader - Deepstash

Becoming a Demanding Reader

Reading is all about asking the right questions in the right order and seeking answers.

  • What is this book about?
  • What is being said in detail, and how?
  • Is this book true in whole or in part?
  • What of it?

If all of this sounds like hard work, you’re right. Most people won’t do it. That’s what sets you apart.
