How is it possible that this guy can read so many books? SICP alone, for me anyway, takes me about a year to get through. And a lot of these books are pretty dense.

- gohrt 11y agoSome of the books are textbooks that take a few months to get through (about 1 month of full-time effort when non-employed, if you consider that you'll read about 4 textbooks in a semester of school), and many are rather casual reads (biography, history, and pop science)
