The Role of the Scholar

Annotation is a life saver. In the past, whenever a teacher would give me something like this to read, my thought process would shrink to zero and I'd completely shut down. Writing out the meanings of sentences and the definition of words was so helpful and it helped me stay focused. I think Bacon did an awesome job of analyzing the way we think and how we acquire/perceive information.
I really enjoyed reading Gift of the Magi and the Most Dangerous Game, simply because the vocabulary was a lot less advanced and the material in general was so much easier. But if you are someone who likes to read things that have depth and a lot of thinking involved, then The Role of the Scholar is a good choice. I am, unfortunately, not one of those people. :)
