"It is only in the stress of fine ideas and emotions that a man may be truly said to live" - Arnold Bennett
Favorite book I have encountered so far on the contemplative discipline of reading. If Mortimer J. Adler's book is a "work of knowledge" meant to inform, this book is a "work of power" meant to inspire; two helpful distinctions, by the way which Arnold Bennett proffers.

حصلت على هذا الكتاب لدى زيارتي مع صديقي طارق لمكتبة معهد الإدارة العامة، وبعد فراغي من قراءته وددت لو أنني قرأته في بداية قراءتي الأدبية، فهو يضع برنامجًا جميلاً للارتقاء بالذائقة الأدبية كما أنه يعطي توجيهاتٍ جميلة للقارئ العام والقارئ الأديب.
قراءة الأدب تقوم على قاعدتين: أولاً الأدب وحدة واحدة لا تتجزأ فابدأ القراءة من حيث شئت، ثانيًا ابدأ بالكلاسيكيات فهي أدعى لرفع الذوق الأدبي، وهنا لا أعتقد أن ثمة تناقضا بين القاعدتين كما قد يبدو لقارئهما في المرة الأولى، بل القاعدة الأولى تتبع الثاني More...

I read this book as part of the Librivox book club. At first I wasn’t quite sure what to think about it, but I am so glad that I read it. Bennett was intensely passionate about enjoying your reading, expanding personal horizons, and relishing the art of literature. I’ll keep this review short, because instead I’d like to share some of my favorite quotes with you, and you can decide for yourself whether you should read it.

Beautifully written, although sometimes the author holds somewhat arrogant notions regarding literature and the people who enjoy reading it. This is a good read if you want to feel a cultivated, erudite person. Also very suitable for people who want to impress their high school teachers. Made me laugh out loud a few times as well; read the first part of the chapter on poetry if you want to know what I mean.

A wonderful little book from 1909 written with flair and humour that provides a practical way into some of the gems of English literature that probably passed by those of us who didn't study English at university.

This is a fascinating little volume. Its intentions are inherent in the title. But for all of that it is not boring or dry. It is a meditation on why we read and what we get--or could get--from the endeavor. I have read Bennett before, but I'd forgotten about this particular title until I ran across a reference to it in Larry McMurtry's "Books." There were apparently, a number of books of this type to come out in the first few decades of the twentieth century. This book could als

This is one of the most interesting books about reading that I have ever read. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in more than cursory reading.
