So many rules! Picking this one up after a long hiatus as well. Am trying to write down some notes as I make progress into it further. I'm not used to critical reading at all, so learning to read texts in an effortful light like this is hard to get comfortable with. Inshallah, I'll come out of this mentally stronger however!

Continuing on this again after a long hiatus. I told myself to diligently employ a 'superficial read' to get me familiar with it before undertaking a proper 'analytical reading'. But I got demoralised and gave up due to not understanding it fully in the moment, something which Mortimer Adler warns of.

Quite effective at explaining investing concepts!
