“It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book."
I don’t think I’ve read anything as slowly as I’m reading Beginning of Infinity... I think only ~5% of the books I own were written by someone who felt like *all* of the sentences should matter

This was one of the most "a-ha" filled books I've read. I remember the beginning being markedly slower than the bulk of it.

hm.. I'm reading both Gibbon and Sagan right now and I think they both qualify, even though the former author reads much denser than the latter.

What’re some others?

FoR. I'd guess something like "Conjectures and Refutations" and "The Open Society..." as well. Shorter things like Descartes' Meditations and, Hume's "A treatise on Human Nature" - I get the sense those guys were really struggling hard over every word, let alone each sentence.

I had to return the audiobook and buy the ebook because I knew I couldn’t absorb enough of it otherwise. I’m taking forever as well.

Impro is the only book like that I've seen other than Math/CS textbooks. Any other recommendations?
