Five Books for Beach Reading

POINTS COVERED

• There is no substitute for the vital connection between the ideas of an author and the mind of a reader.
• According to Mortimer Adler, an author is like the pitcher, and he’s throwing balls at you the catcher-reader with each sentence, each paragraph, each chapter.  To properly engage a pitcher, a catcher can’t crouch there passively because he’ll either get hit by a fastball — or a curveball will miss him altogether.
