You don’t have to read the whole book for it to be worthwhile. Read the interesting bits, skim others, put it down if it loses your interest.

For most non fiction books + functional reading. For fictions good to immerse in it slowly: reading Hyperion very very slow but loving it.

I’d go so far as to say this is the better way to read a lot of pop nonfiction. Especially if the book is 200-250 pages. It was probably padded to hit the standard 50-60k minimum word count.

Anymore, the vast majority of non-fiction books could have boiled the key information in them down to a pamphlet.

took me a longer than it should have to learn that it was ok not to read the whole book, listen to the whole album, watch the full interview, etc. you can put it down when you’re not getting anything out of it anymore..

I disagree authors often craft their works with intentional depth and structure. Even the slower sections can offer valuable insights that contribute to a richer understanding of the whole.

You don't have a read the whole book for it to be worthwhile. Watch the explaining on YouTube, listen important points and this will not lose your interest

In practice, most books have a lot of prolixity... A lot of wasted text. Often, you need to pick out a central idea that was already well-developed in the frist 15 pages.

I agree that you don’t always have to read the entire book to gain value from it. However, Mgxie makes a good point above. Sometimes there’s valuable knowledge hidden even in the less interesting parts. In the end, it’s all about finding a reading approach that works best for you!
