Self Improvement General /sig/

Try books by Paul Loup Sulitzer but its a disgrace for literature

currently reading How to read a book by mortimer adler. its ok so far but its definitely not aimed at literature but at academic books however you can still take somethings out of this book literature-wise, and if you are doing college, this book can help a lot.
next i will read ABC of literature and the art of fiction to try and improve my 'reading skills'

art of fiction is a great book if you're talking about the one by David Lodge - covers all the features/techniques used by all the good writers; Joyce, Salinger, fucking everyone - decent read and helped me with loads of assignments
