Human Follies

1. Read the preface or table of contents to understand the book's structure, then skip to chapters of interest rather than forcing yourself to read from start to finish.
2. After each passage, jot down the human weakness being satirized and compare it with phenomena in contemporary life to deepen understanding.
3. If English reading is difficult, use a Chinese summary or background material on the author's era to grasp the main idea first, then return to the original.
4. Aim to read one short section for a fixed fifteen to twenty minutes each day, keeping a relaxed pace rather than forcing through large chunks at once.
