  2. SUBSECTION 1 • The author of this book starts out by lying out some of the reasons why people in general don’t enjoy reading. And this is because they believe that not even a life time will be enough to read near a thousand of the books in the universe. Hence he talk about the two components that books have which are: the location and the content. A person can get the content of the book just by reading it thoroughly and entirely. But, on the other hand, the location of the book is what you really need in order to able to talk about books. This component consists of knowing the time when it was written, other books it can be associated to and an overall knowledge of the content. For example the author states that for the book Ulysses, for the location you must know that it was written by Joyce and that in a way it is a similar retelling of the Odyssey.

  3. SUBSECTION 2 • In this section of the book, the author introduces the process of skimming through books. He describes that in order to write a well written article or give a conference with talking points from the book it is only necessary to have an overall knowledge of the book.
