      I read 51 books in 2017 (may squeeze in one or two more before EOY). Here are my favorites, with a little bit of commentary. In no particular order:

      51 books? Amazing...What are some methods that you use to read consistently?

      I’m very competitive, so setting a public goal on @goodreads and looping in my book club @zsims and @marissa helps a lot. Unfortunately I surpassed my goal but @zsims trounced me anyways!

      How do make sure you retain all of the concepts that you are reading about & synthesize your own opinions regarding those topics? Heavy note-taking?

      Great question. I’m not sure I’m the best at this. I have actually come to terms w the fact that my conscious mind will forget a lot but a lot is being assimilated into my mental models, like @paulg explains here: http://www.paulgraham.com/know.html

      I find using Anki with a goal in mind (say: add 50 flashcards for a book) helps a lot with this. It's also interesting and useful to figure out what is best to add.

      Spaced repetition system. I use it for almost everything; average about 6000 new cards per year. Takes about 20 minutes to review each day, usually while walking to coffee or travelling.

          I probably learn differently, but why treat it like you're prepping for a test? Isn't the point of reading to assimilate the important things and let the rest go?

          I agree, but I'd use these cards to completely assimilate the important stuff and let the rest go. Humans truly grok concepts through habits and repetition. Valid way of learning.
