I'm currently half-way through "How to read a book", and I'm finding it simple but quite useful, me still being an inexperienced reader.
Recently I noticed Adler wrote a lot of other stuff, did you like some other book of his? I think I might check out some of his stuff on Aristotle once I started approaching greek philosophy.

He has a very good reputation. Never read his books, so can't give my opinion.

The book is 90% good, BUT he advocates actually writing in books with a pencil. And for this he should have been publicly hanged.

I know him primarily as a philosopher of education

What is his stuff on Aristotle about anon? Is it a digestion of Aristotle works which are primary sources of knowledge? Is it an extrinsic reading aid helping you understand Aristotle and his times better? Is it a guide on how to read his works well? You peaked my interest.
