“Reading a book should be a conversation between you and the author. Presumably he knows more about the subject than you do; if not, you probably should not be bothering with his book. But understanding is a two-way operation; the learner has to question himself and question the teacher, once he understands what the teacher is saying.

It is the highest respect you can pay him.” IfsKnowsWayShouldTwoBookReadingUnderstandingDifferencesPayTeacherSubjectsExpressionConversationHighestBotherOperationsAgreementTwo WaysLearners Author:Mortimer Adler
