This is my official pitch to write the very important and necessary book, How to Read a Book: The Book. If there are any publishers out there who would like to help millions of people learn how to read a book (and make a ton of dough in the process), then please get off your duff and contact me immediately so we can start changing the world together.

Do you have an edition coming out for ebooks?
I think this post is to point out that people read everything digitaly nowadays.
Hi! I’m a big fan of your website. This was pretty cute and funny “article” and the perfect thing I have been looking for. Would you be highly offended if I asked to use this in my high school English classes to teach figurative language (sarcasm, irony, understatement)? The kids will love it!
sure thing!
Sweeeet! You’re awesome, and that was not an understatement.
Just so you know, there is already a book called How to Read a Book. I feel like this book will be more useful than the original.

In all seriousness, I bought that book in high school and could not get through it. It’s very dense.
I love it!!!!
Hi Jeff,
You should try inquiring at Write Bloody Books, (www.writebloody.com) this book fits in at their press so well I’m surprised it isn’t already there!
Great work!
Cool, thanks!
Hi. This post is awesome! Would you mind if we print the pics and stick them to the wall in our school library? How would you like to be credited? Thanks!

Hello! ^_^
Is it a problem if I translate your work in Italian so i can publish it on my site? Obviously I will put your name and a link to your website!
P.S. Sorry, sorry and sorry for my really bad English. XD
As long as you link back here, no problem.
