How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler changed my life.

I wanted to learn some nutrition science to stop my mother from drinking so much dandelion tea that The View was shilling to her. She wasn't buying it. I decided I needed a better core understanding in order to convince her. Naturally if I'm going to read a bunch of science journals and such I thought I could increase efficiency through improving another core skill - reading. Special thanks to video games for teaching me learning techniques or I wouldn't have made the connection.

What followed was a painful yet wonderful journey of self discovery and I'd likely still be an ignorant bigot if it weren't for that book. I'm still ignorant, but I'm trying!

She never listened in the end though. :')
