| Gene Cornett Oct 11 | I love good quotes about reading and writing, especially one like this one that makes me want to grab a book and get after it right then. "Learn to read critically. Reading is not merely an exchange of information and ideas. It is a conversation between the author and the reader. Think of reading as a silent but intensive conversation. As you read, ask the author questions and filter the book's content through the fabric of your convictions. Argue with the book and its author when necessary, and agree and elaborate when appropriate. Treat the book as a notepad with printed words. In other words, write in your books. Make the book your own by marking points of agreement and disagreement, highlighting particularly important sections of text, and underlining and diagraming where helpful. Unless your specific copy of the book has some historical or emotional value, mark it up with abandon." (R. Albert Mohler Jr., The Conviction to Lead) | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
