The bigger lesson: if you want to read, read in clusters. I agree with pretty much everything says in spakhm.com/p/how-i-read

Strong agree. I'd add the caveat that the order of the books you read on the topic is really important too, like the order of programming languages learn.
Or maybe the better analogy is from Peter Thiel: monopolize a "suitable" niche, then carefully expand to segments

So do some research to pick the first book - the one that gives you a solid understanding of the principles, a great overview, but doesn't skip the important details and still provides the relevant context.
