Kantbot's thread is good, read it: but I have a different slant. Asking me to recommend a book is like asking me to find a wife for you https://twitter.com/kantbot2000/status/815771074721959936 …

There are many amazing books out there I could introduce you to, and they could all make some man happy. But are they all right for YOU? idk

Making book reccs, unless 100% casual or for a specific technical purpose, is very personal. You need to know someone well to know what fits

So if you want to ask someone for book reccs, try to have a conversation w/ him first! Otherwise, he's trying to unload his fat niece on you

I may just end up fisking Kantbot's whole thread instead of eating lunch. Or should I blog on it instead...? like anudda shoah

And yet: you need to experiment with different topics & books & ways of reading them to find what's fun for you https://twitter.com/kantbot2000/status/815771461625462784 …

Some things you simply need to grind. If you're learning a new lang, you need to grind. (Discussed this in "Little Learning")

But over the long term, your ability to read a great deal, & read steadily, with focus and an active mind, depends on pleasure

Cast a broad net. What/how you think you want to learn about and what you have the will/mind to study, may be different things

True in the sense learning is a marathon. (See: LL3) But precisely because it's a marathon, you want a runner's high https://twitter.com/kantbot2000/status/815772486231031808 …

You're not even gonna get to the starting line of your first marathon if you never figure out a most-fun way to run (for you)
