I really enjoyed this. It is not really a book, it is a manuscript of a lecture Lewis Carroll once gave. It starts with someone else's history of the lecture and how the paper came to be published. Apparently he was not one for crowds and only did the talk in the first place as a favor to a friend. The lecture is about the "diet" of our minds. It is NOT fictional, do not go into it thinking it is another alice. I find his thoughts ahead of their rime and to include better study habits and how to build one's ability to pull information read. I intend on having my children read it as one of their "classics" and comparing it to study techniques people espouse now. It was fairly short and to the point.

I d'loaded this title because I'm interested in reading some of tbe lesser known works of the master storytellers. This is a very quick read and succinctly and concisely describes by way of metaphor how to feed your mind. I enjoyed Carroll's dry wit very much and am still masticating the message. Hope you enjoy!
