While the natural intuition is that new, fresh information is the most valuable, it’s often the opposite: fresh information often has too much noise to be useful.
Books are dense and cheap, and my temperament to be slightly impatient with written content makes me a fan of the massive input style of learning.
I’ve read less than half of these! I highly recommend skimming and only completing books that really are good all the way through.
