How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster
Total Reading Time: 3.5 hours
Review: I really liked how accessible this book felt. I knew it was trying to teach me something but it wasn’t boring and I didn’t feel liked I was sitting in a lecture. It also doesn’t just espouse one view and lets readers have their own opinions, which I appreciated. Overall, very well done and I wish my high school lit classes explained symbolism & irony like Prof. Foster. Maybe then I would have understood “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and actually liked it as so many people seem to.
Nice, I’ve read his How to Read Novels book! Check out my review if you’re interested: https://leviathanbound.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/how-to-read-novels-like-a-professor/
