It was your book summaries which initially drew me to your writing. My reading list overlaps heavily with yours (and I write summaries of them too), but I even find I benefit from reading your summaries on the ones I have read multiple times (such as the amazing Origin of Wealth pictured above).

Glad that you find my book summaries useful. I wish they got more attention, as I think that they are a great way to learn about progress. I also wish that I had the time to add more summaries. I am now focused on Substack.

I bookmarked your site a few weeks ago. I haven't read through it yet, but I intend to. I have a massive backlog of books and articles I want to read. It's crazy.

I know the feeling. My reading time has dropped off dramatically since I started writing my first book in 2020. It is very hard to find time to read entire books if one's focus is on producing content.

In the interest of saving time, I think that you should focus on my book summaries first. You can "read" one book every 5-10 minutes rather than 5-10 days.

Very time-efficient.

I will give it a try. I wish there was a faster way to absorb information.

Until Elon Musk invents a brain port for dumping the contents of book directly into our brain, I believe that my online library of book summaries is the fastest method.
