I agree. This alone will make pretty much anyone read more, learn more, and enjoy it more. Too many people feel this weird sense of responsibility: having opened the book, I must read every word, in order, until the last page, or I have failed at my job. A healthier perspective is that books are there for you to use and throw away as needed, not a sacred burden.
- nottorp 3y agoYes yes yes. Drop them if they don't click with you. Life's too short. I've even dropped a book by one of my favorite authors once. I just couldn't stand it [Makes note to check what Neal Stephenson wrote after Seveneves].
