| 520 | _a"The Guide to Reading — the Pocket University Volume XXIII" edited by Dr. Lyman Abbott and Asa Don Dickinson is a compilation that reflects an educational framework likely developed in the early 20th century. This volume serves as a guidebook on reading practices, offering insights on how books can fulfill various roles, from ornamental to instrumental and, most importantly, as companions to the reader. The aim appears to be enhancing one’s literary experience and encouraging thoughtful reading habits. The opening portion of this work starts with Lyman Abbott's discussion of the functions that books serve in the home: as ornaments, tools, and friends. Abbott shares a vivid story that illustrates the bizarre use of books purely for their aesthetic value and emphasizes the invaluable role of literature as tools for knowledge and understanding. He argues passionately for books as friends, advocating that engaging with literature should be an enriching and inviting experience, rather than merely an academic task. Throughout, there’s a clear intent to inspire readers to cultivate a lasting, enriching relationship with literature, rather than viewing it as a chore.
