How I read:

- as many books as I want concurrently (from 0 to infinity)

- sometimes I skip entire chapters to get to the bits I find important

- sometimes I read parts of a book and decide it's a bad book, or not useful to me, so I put it aside

- sometimes I read the same paragraphs/pages/chapters/books multiple times, rarely, but occasionally, many, many times (e.g. some essays I read approximately every 3 months, since they're so important to keep front of mind).

- very often, I take notes, often many pages of notes. These are an amazing resource for years to come
