First post that states: “read books that you don't understand. read books where you have to pay attention. read books that make you reread a page eight times to figure it out. read books that you need to take notes on. read books with words you have to google. read books that don't make sense without research on the setting. read books that make you feel stupid because otherwise you'll just be stupid.” Juxtaposed with this post: “Never read books you aren't sure about, even supposing that these bad books are very well written from a literary point of view.
