I totally stole the idea of reading 33 pages a day, as mention by nostr:nprofile1qqsp80y4mysu3d4jdne4f9ykfkhcd7f39ljsjfzg85nxsfuhnkqgjlgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsw3tee0 recently. Something about that number just works and has got me back into a better reading discipline / habit.

Was curious nostr:nprofile1qqsp80y4mysu3d4jdne4f9ykfkhcd7f39ljsjfzg85nxsfuhnkqgjlgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsw3tee0 what made you pick that number? Did you see it somewhere as advice or just random-ish?
Basically what nostr:nprofile1qqs00a6eqepc93wh9edgzw63mew4d00dwryjhvcytwu4nkk3mlhwtrcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcv7fzz2 said. I looked at my stack of books to read, and noticed they were mostly all doable in less than two weeks if I could read about 33 pages a day.
Every two weeks you can complete most books. Every month, you can tackle a tome.
I think I'm usually hesitant of reading goal, like books per year, pages per day, but as some sort of jump start back into reading discipline it has worked, so I'll stick to it.
It's obviously 33 pages min. Very achievable and undaunting number.
The best way to approach nonfiction is by choosing a subject of interest, compiling the top 5 books that cover that subject, going straight to the relevant pages in each of them and reading just those, then messaging the authors with questions. You’ll be in the top 10% of subject matter experts globally just through syntopical reading.
There’s no rule that says you have to read books cover to cover.
Unless they're dead. They'll often be dead.
