Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

    He certainly reads at a very low level, and I’ve seen analysis of his speeches explaining how we know this. I don’t know if he’s always been that bad at reading or if this is a new thing in the last 10 years or so.

      No he never was interested in reading or writing. From my understanding his book, The Art of the Deal, was not written by him but dictated to someone who wrote down what he was saying. Some say that’s why the book sounds like something he is saying to you than writing to you.

      I need to mention that Hitler also had mein kampf written this way. He didn’t sit at a desk and write it with a pen or typewriter, someone else just wrote down what Hitler was saying directly to them.
