Psa: This is 10x better than how to read by that Mortimer guy

>>8891783
love this book, its comfy as fuck

but in my opinion how to read by Bloom is the best book to learn how to read

>>8891783
the title and the subtitle sound like colossal bullshit

>>8891862
its actually good nigger
prose is our gal, she recommends the greeks and gravity rainbow in there

>prose is our gal

She also complains about her students being underread plebs, loves 2666, and wrote a good essay about how terrible literary education is in America (I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read). She's like a female Bloom.

I also noticed that she seemed like a female bloom. But I'm a big fan of both

Is that book worth a read? I looked at the table of contents and it seemed like the book was an excuse for him to masturbate about his favorite books (which is fine but didn't seem to match up to the title)

It's fine, but don't expect something really formal like that Mortimer book. It's just Bloom explaining his reading philosophies in the form of introducing some of his favourite books.

the best thing i learned that is that you're supposed to memorize poems, i started doing it and i recommend you to

Thanks, I remember him talking about that on one of his Charlie Rose appearances.
