Like particular deodorants, this is strong enough for a writer, but made for a reader.

I don't usually add these "Great Courses" by the Teaching Company to my list of books read. For one, they're audiobooks and secondly, they're not actually books. They're recorded lectures given by college/university professors. But they're darn informative, and this one in particular applies to what we all do here, which is to read. Bet you didn't see that one coming, but it's true! Unless you're an author here to spam Goodreads' users with unsolicited requests to read your book or if you're a woman from Ghana with poor English skills trying to solicit dates, you are here to read and talk about what you've read.

So as a bookworm, wouldn't you like to become a more savvy reader? Of course you would! Get The Art of Reading. By dissecting classic literature, amazing short stories, and the occasional turd, it shows you how to read closer, what you can get out of a closer reading and how to squeeze as much insight and joy from whatever books you choose to delve into.

If you are one of those spamming authors or African jezebels, you too might get a little out of The Art of Reading, because much of its subject matter is about what goes into the making of good writing. Read between the lines and perhaps it will help your lines to be more widely read.
