Should be titled "How to read Classical Literature", seems to think that books that don't discuss interpersonal relations aren't relevant.
With books like this who needs textbooks.
This is an incredible book. I wish that I had found it sooner. If you have despaired of your genera, and just want to read a really good book, then check out How To Read and Why. I read sci-fi, which I love, but sometimes, I just want to read some awesome writing, then Harold Bloom will point the way. I love the fact that this book is addressed to woman. Woman read much more than men, it's a fact. So drop those dumb detective stories ladies, and pick up a real good read.
