Just got done reading Adler's How to Read a Book a few days ago. Recommend: Ward Farnsworth. Apparently some law school dean who has written some books on law, none of which I have read. I personally just picture him more as a classicist. His grasp on English writing knocks me off my feet. It is seriously something to behold. His book on explaining chess tactics (also available online free[0]) is an absolutely amazing display of effective communication in writing. In another writing style, he has three books[1][2][3] and apparently an upcoming fourth[4] where he presents an idea/concept, cites meaningful examples in the wild of their use, and provides his own commentary to touch up on his chosen topics. They make for delightful reading.
