The Art of X-Ray Reading: How the Secrets of 25 Great Works of Literature Will Improve Your Writing by Roy Peter Clark

5.0

I liked this better than H.Foster’s HTRLLAP in many ways, but really they complement one another well. I liked that Foster organizes chapters thematically, but I despise the spoilers throughout it. This one had excerpts that really does a thorough job with close reading skills and practices. I also like that this one not only helps you as a reader, but also gives tips for aspiring writers. Great book to get me excited for AP LIT 2020-2021!
