Appreciate your advice about how to read great books, in general, and agree. Thank you.

Curious to get your thoughts on this question: in general, when is the most appropriate time to turn to secondary works? Before? As you go along? After the first read? Never?

For example, reading the Republic—how would you think about reading Bloom’s interpretive essay, or City and Man?
