As Mortimer Adler writes in How to Read a Book, in the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.

Something of inborn pride in him still, perhaps; he would not be outdone by others; and besides, it would do him no harm to be in his father's good books the day he went away.

或许，他身上还有某种与生俱来的自豪感；他不会被别人超越；此外，他离开的那天在他父亲的好名册上对他没有坏处。
