I'd like to highlight a key idea for pack rats of knowledge/scholarship.
Life is too short for content that's not worthwhile (seriously).
If you're a serious reader, and you live upto 70+ year old, maybe you can finish off 15k books on various topics.
Library of congress alone has 38 million books. That's a meagre 0.04% of the content available at the great library.
Thus, the key skill seems not to be reading, but skipping the non relevant stuff. Get better at skipping stuff that's not worth it given our short lives!
