The Truths About Reading
- Quality matters more than quantity. There's no point in reading loads of books in a short amount of time but couldn't recall enough about what the books say.
- Book summary services don't really resemble the actual books. Those summaries are useful as a stepping stone for us to explore more from the books. For me myself, I just basically use them as some kind of trailer of the books before I buy them, just to make sure I really want to read those books.
- We don't have to read books that we find boring. We don't always have to finisih the book we already started if it doesn't suits us.
