Harold Bloom’s How to Read and Why is a must-read for every honors- and AP-level student. We’re not talking simple decoding or basic comprehension. We’re talking the real stuff of literary study: form, genre, language use, and the interaction of the reader, writer, and text. This is the finest argument about the need to read literature that includes scholarly advice on how students can understand the elements of literature that I've ever seen.
