Reseñas de la Crítica

“Take a passion for books, season it with admiration for the way reading has shaped our nation, simmer with practical ways to become a better reader, and feast on a library sized diet that can bring wealth, intellect, entertainment, and happiness. Reading does that, and Stan Skrabut points out how.” (Dale G. Yerpe, English Professor, Jamestown Community College)

"Reading is more than just a pastime, it is the secret to success. This is the idea that educator and avid reader Stan Skrabut explores in his book Read to Succeed. Besides describing his own personal love of reading, Stan looks to the past revealing that successful people valued reading as more than just a way of passing the time. Indeed, as anyone who dives into this book, will learn, there are lessons to be learned from every book, and thus making time to read is a necessity, even in today’s media-driven world.In Read to Succeed, Stan Skrabut does more than just describe his own personal love of reading. He dives into the past, examining how successful people read and detailing the reading lives of an array of American leaders including Benjamin Franklin, Barack Obama, and George S. Patton. He also takes on the complaint, 'I don’t have time to read' by exploring ways to navigate life schedules and methods of approaching the written word including eBook readers and audiobooks. A must-read for book lovers, but more importantly, for those of us who need to convince the rest of the world to become fellow book lovers!" (Karen J. Weyant, Associate Professor of English Jamestown Community College)

Good information - listen at faster speed

1. I almost quit listening because the narrator was putting me to sleep (literally) and I was driving - I decided to kick the speed up and the delivery was better.
2. Even with the speed increased, there were times that the delivery was painful. However, because of the interesting stories and concepts, I finished the books.

I am a life-long learner - reader - listener of books and information. As I approach 65 years old, I find that many of the items in the book I did in one capacity or another. This book might be better consumed as an e-book versus audio because of the narration. I recommend the book because of the information contained.
