26. Explorable Explanations
“An active reader asks questions, considers alternatives,
questions assumptions, and even questions the
trustworthiness of the author. An active reader tries to
generalize specific examples, and devise specific examples for
generalities. An active reader doesn't passively sponge up
information, but uses the author's argument as a springboard
for critical thought and deep understanding.”
