​​On Reading Books

Reading books should be a part of your daily routine. Whether it's a novel or a course book, you should allocate time every day to peruse a few pages.

But it's important to not get in the trap of reading endless self-help/self-development books. You can only optimize your habits/day so much that at one point, marginal utility you get from that genre of books becomes minuscule. Instead, read memoirs, fiction, non-fiction, romance, academic, the list goes on. These books will improve your focus and critical thinking far better than any self-help books out there. They will also broaden your knowledge in a range of topics so you will be able to strike up a conversation with anyone you are interested.

As for myself, I just finished the semester, and started reading the Foundation by Isaac Asimov. I intend to read as many books as I can in the summer, and I suggest you do the same. Good luck random earth citizen.
