"Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom commences this impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well. For more than forty years, Bloom has transformed college students into lifelong readers with his unrivaled love for literature. Now, at a time when faster and easier electronic media threaten to eclipse the practice of reading, Bloom draws on his experience as critic, teacher, and prolific reader to plumb the great books for their sustaining wisdom.
Shedding all polemic, Bloom addresses the solitary reader, who, he urges, should read for the purest of all reasons: to discover and augment the self. Always dazzling in his ability to draw connections between texts across continents and centuries, Bloom instructs readers in how to immerse themselves in the different literary forms.
Probing discussions of the works of beloved writers such as William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens, and William Faulkner highlight the varied challenges and delights found in short stories, poems, novels, and plays. Bloom not only provides illuminating guidance on how to read a text but also illustrates what such reading can bring -- aesthetic pleasure, increased individuality and selfknowledge, and the lifetime companionship of the most engaging and complex literary characters.
Bloom's engaging prose and brilliant insights will send you hurrying back to old favorites and entice you to discover new ones. His ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book.

我们不欠任何平庸的东西——哈罗德·布鲁姆的教诲
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
按:任何搞学术、搞写作的,阅读才是他们的本性,而哈罗德·布鲁姆无疑是所有阅读者中最勤奋最令人敬佩而感动的。 绝大多数人面对“读书”二字,仅仅看到了“书”字,简单地归为“对书的阅读”,却忽略了作为一种行动的“阅读“。因而,诸如此类的问题他们很少关注:我的阅读过... (展开)

看看Bloom推荐的书挺好的,但首先这个书单无甚新意,其次Bloom这本书的书名很误导群众,最后他的criticism听起来是为自己而非为读者写的。

确实很多细节阐释,但是只有琐碎没有美感,可能是因为几乎全在用作品评作品,太高冷;而且如此殚尽竭虑用莎士比亚解释所有文学,不也是一种宏大叙事吗?

"first find Shakespeare, and let him find you. "读书就是同自我对话。Bloom的分析方式,对传统看得很重,没有很大的阅读量,根本串不起来的。选的作家作品都很好,可惜太多,如果一个部分只选一个作家,仔细分析,是不是对读者帮助更大一点,一两页的分析,怕是只能记个名字。
