- ojbyrne 12y agoI did read it, and found it trite and obvious. My problems with it were essentially summarized by the particular sentence I quoted.
- kissickas 12y agoI found it obvious, which pg admits, until this quote: "The same book would get compiled differently at different points in your life." A nice analogy, as others have pointed out, and that is the thirteen-word summary I'll remember from this essay. Not bad, considering most thousand-page books will be compressed down to a page of take-away memories.
