I don’t think what I wrote was very useful for someone that hasn’t read the book.

For someone that hasn’t read it, I think it’s a really good book. That’s it. It’s easy to read and it has personally helped me on how to absorb larger texts. It’s like a guide on how to build a scaffold to read theory, I think. Adler even gives you a checklist of what you should do, like “Rule 1 - read the title, Rule 2 - read the first lines of each chapter etc.”.

It’s about 300 pages long but I think the chapters on Inspectional and Analytical reading are enough for like 99% of Communist theory and I think you can read them in an afternoon.

For how true it is, it was useful for me, I suppose. I thought about how it relates to working memory and stuff but honestly it’s not relevant. It’s just a checklist with explanations. If it doesn’t work for you, I still think that you can adapt the advice for you.

In short, what I wrote was me looking at a manual on how to read, looking at communist theory and thinking “hmm similar.”

Another comrade on hexbear did a way better job than me of telling what this book is about
