Look for wisdom, not facts. We’re not reading to just find random pieces of information. What’s the point of that? We’re reading to accumulate a mass of true wisdom—that you can turn to and apply in your actual life. In every book you read, try to find your next one in its footnotes or bibliography. This is how you build a knowledge base in a subject—it’s how you trace a subject back to its core. Your nightstand should be ambitious. Don’t just build a library, build an [[anti-library]]—a stack of unread books that humbles you and reminds you just how much there is still to learn.
