Pick a section of a book you like and do an “Adler read” on that section. Identify the main question, supporting points, and conclusion of each of those sections in the margins.
Short passages or a couple chapters can be really rewarding. “What is the author actually connecting this to?”
“Are these questions being addressed one at a time, or too many at once” etc.
We used Adler as a starting point for a bunch of school books and did these as assignments - while it was painful it upped my game and brought so much more out of the book.
