How to Read
Executive Summary
The radicalization of reading involves taking all books and editing them for clear writing. In such a system, we must agree that the first sentence of a paragraph must summarize a paragraph, the last sentence reinforce it, and the first paragraph of a chapter summarize the chapter, and the last paragraph restate the summary in a different perspective or ontology. For chapters, the first chapter should summarize all chapters. As such, a high quality book must be fractal.
Indeed, a useful Introduction would position the book within other areas of human knowledge and experience, with teleology of advanced, democratic civilization of prosperity and progress.
This means that human progress must be defined, as in everyone should say - 'i love that shit'.
Reading material should be serious, as in Mortimer Adler's 'reading to understand'. As opposed to reading to entertain. This does not mean that a good book should be devoid of storytelling and humor. It should be exciting, to keep one's attention. It should be written for the full human experience of mind, moral, and feeling.
A possible book that comes out of the above would be - 'The ideal structure of a book and how to write one'. What is the closest existing thing to this?
