- Give the book one hour. if it’s not great, then move on.
- Aim to finish 30% of all books started? (Debating this.)
- There are a million books and a million recommendations.
- Not all books are worth the time though. Perhaps I’ve already learned that lesson. Perhaps it’s just not enjoyable, or I don’t like the author’s style. In these moments I wonder: what does this book being popular tell me about society? (There’s always something to be learned.)
- The good stuff sticks.
- Note taking is interesting.
- Fiction is more powerful for philosophy than anything
- putting philosophy next to characters living it is better than just listening to “Socrates A Life Worth Living” by Devra Lehman and hearing back and forth arguments.
- Read things I’m not interested in
- the best book on cooking. The best book on nascar, etc. I don’t need to be an expert in everything, but to pick a random field and get the best book in that field can open my mind up.
