If it were possible to read ~15 books and hundreds of articles. But not even then, because the written word is part of my life and I am not obsessed with clever ideas and "lifehacks". "You can immerse yourself in a single author’s perspective, but then it’s harder to create serendipitous collisions between the ideas of multiple authors."
