Hot take: Consider that you may be slightly less underinvested in books than most people are. Trivial version: estimate NPV of your career as of today. 1% impact on productivity by reading probably justifies $20k on books without batting an eye.

It's not the purchase of the book but the applying of the knowledge. 90% of those books are available - even through electronic versions - at public and university libraries. This tweet and thread is off-putting - it trivializes and highlights abundant financial resources.

This is not a zero sum game. If you get an exceptional idea from a book (which may not be in your local library) and it allows you to improve others lives tremendously, is that not a fantastic investment of capital? The world is a better place when people read great books.
