Wait a minute. This is a book about reading and you want us to read less?
Fewer books? For real?
Yeah, yeah—hear me out for just a minute. I’m all for reading more books and dedicating more time to reading. It’s all around more of a good thing. But what if we considered reading less.
I’m not talking about giving up reading altogether; I’m simply suggesting that we could be slower and more deliberate about the books we choose. And therefore comprehend more of what we read. Not only that, but savor each book along the way.
Yes, there are genuine reasons for why you might want to read less. Because reading more doesn’t always mean reading better. Focus more on reading quality rather than quantity. It’s about taking time to choose the right books rather than always reading everything in sight—although that can sometimes be fun, too.
So in your hustle to read, slow down and consider the idea of reading less.
