  How much time did you spend on Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid? Be honest.

    I think I read about 50 pages a night for a couple of weeks. Definitely a heavy book and difficult at times, but worth taking slowly.

  >...and random trips through goodwill as inspiration I'd be interested in a little more rigorous of an algorithm when choosing books to read. Given that, particularly for history books, there are a good deal of "duds" out there, do you have any recommendations for finding books? Like, you said goodreads, but my goodread recommendations are either NYT Top ones (which at one point had 50 shades of grey - not exactly a list guaranteeing quality) or a bunch of "intelligently sourced" recommendations which means entirely YA fiction because that's what half my "read" bookshelf contains (been adding books to goodreads for a while).
