Edition DescriptionReprint

SynopsisInformation is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom begins this impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well. For more than forty years, Bloom has transformed college students into lifelong readers with his unrivaled love for literature. Now, at a time when faster and easier electronic media threatens to eclipse the practice of reading, Bloom draws on his experience as critic, teacher, and prolific reader to plumb the great books for their sustaining wisdom. Shedding all polemic, Bloom addresses the solitary reader, who, he urges, should read for the purest of all reasons: to discover and augment the self. His ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book., Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom begins this impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well.

Compelling maybe misleading title
Copy was yellow and old looking. Blooms writing introduced the book was very helpful. However the book wasn't as instructive as I expected.

I think everyone needs to read this book, that should be in bold print across this book.
I am so happy to find these books that teach the "real" way to learn. I don't know what happened to our educational system, but I am not going down that sink hole. I am getting all the old educational books I can and refreshing my think. Thanks.
