    Few know how to read a book. That is, few know how to read wisely. It's not just about "context" but a holistic search for truth.

    In this episode, Andrew Noble describes his insights from Mortimer Adler's How To Read A Book, Wyatt Graham advocates for the supremacy of audio books, and Phil Cotnoir keeps us sain amidst it all.
