As someone who finished his MA in English Literature a couple years ago, I can tell you without a doubt - academic reading gets THE LEAST out of a book, not the most. After I was done with the academy, I started creating an emotional bond with fiction again, rather than an intellectual one. I've had my share of interesting ideas discovered while digging the crap into a work of art, but the joy of reading for the sake of reading is the most rewarding experience a book can give you.

I entirely agree with you. Best advice. 10/10!

I agree that academic reading takes away from the actual reading experience but this sort of reading is quite necessary when reading someone like Derrida or Spivak for the purpose of research or critical understanding. If anything, in their cases there is no good reading experience unless you read it so clinically because otherwise you're not understanding anything at all and that is simply frustrating. I don't think this type reading is necessary for reading fiction unless you plan to write a paper on that book.

You hit the nail on the head, and this is the question we’re trying to answer in literary studies now: how to we combine readers’ response with critical analyses? There are a lot of innovative approaches and I hope to contribute to this field of research and take reading back from academic abstractions.

The way you express yourself is so thoughtful, calm, non-imposing. You're a natural teacher.

This video is helpful. Thank You. I struggle a lot with academic and critical reading. It feels incomprehensible. Will apply your suggestions to my next reading.

Thanks a lot for this video! I found it right when I was thought about analysing on book and need to read a lot of articles. It was very useful!

summary of this video is : "It is about the style of communication not about the content how the author want to communicate with you to give you insight" Tips-SQ3R S- survey: inspection overview, attention to major bold heading,abstract,conclusion,less then 10 min,have enough info. about the text. Q-Questioning-ask questions about the text based on your understanding, have min 5-6 question , be very specific about the question do not make confusion in this. R1-Read-time to engage in text intensively,to seek solutions of your questions,deep reading. R2-recall-create summary point by your own, review the questions and did you solve all of them,ask do i have certain remaining queries/confusion R3-review- review text one day later, ask what i gather from this paper, what are key components, how/what/can i use this new understanding for.

Amazing video! Was waiting for this since you first announced about it. I am not a student of philosophy rather I really am interested in it so these tips will really help.

Mr. Robin, when you were talking about the part of questioning, could you share with us the list of helpful questions that we could ask ourselves while reading, please?

Hmm... academic literary theory and philosophy just doesn't cut it for me. I remember when I wrote my thesis on Aristotle and read scholarship on him. I gained far more by simply reading and translating the Nichomachean Ethics than I ever did by reading scholarly monographs. There is a fundamental impasse of academic research that needs to be addressed in humanities research. Monographs are needlessly dense and rarely offer value beyond a simple skim. A simple skim may be enough to inspire an original reading. The best way I gain mastery over a book is to read it numerous times, and ideally also translate it if written in a different language. I guess this leads to my last point... original and enduring works in the humanities are hardly produced these days. The publish or perish mentality is huge in the humanities as the market is oversaturated and most Ph.Ds are destitute unless they DO publish. Most pursue jobs in other industries. I know of one Ph.D. in literary theory who works as as a programmer and IT specialist... I remember my advisor, mentor, and dear friend told me to avoid getting a Ph.D. in the humanities. It was the best advice I was ever given! I would have been miserable in such a stifling environment. I am hoping people like you can make the humanities more accessible and engaging for the hoi polloi! I'm rooting for you!

Thank you! I’m applying for my PhD for next year and my ultimate goal is to demystify the humanities and make my teachings as accessible as possible and provide a literary education for everyone, one video at a time. I share the same grievances you have with monographs and I think there has to be a way where we could combine compelling storytelling and cutting edge theory to revolutionise the field. Again, thank you for the comment. :)

This method sounds an awful lot like What Mortimer Adler describes in his book "how to read a book"

So how do I find a good book without spelling mistakes, repetitive words, bad overall structure, with an interesting topic or story that is actually teaching me something new? I got so aggravated and bored with books that I stopped reading in 2017..
