• B. Books with brief summaries
• C. Books with deep wisdom and meaning
• D. Books for light entertainment

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Books with deep wisdom and meaning

“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested…”

• Chewed and digested = Books that require deep reading, reflection, and thoughtful absorption.

• These are philosophical, complex, or intellectually rich works — the kind you read slowly, maybe reread, and ponder over.
