Knowledge compounds, it’s risk free, they make you wildly interesting, and they keep you out of trouble, and books cost basically nothing.What could be better?
I read for the same reason I do deadlifts, to do the difficult thing that has the unsexy but absurdly high return on investment. Most of the books I like are dense, written by long dead philosophers, and not well known. This provides me big value because popular new books are usually little more than good marketing.
I use this place to write my thoughts about books for a few reasons:
- Writing helps me mentally process books better. I don’t want to just say I read a book, that’s useless, I want to learn and I believe that requires an active component
- It provides my readers valuable content and insight into books they may want to read or avoid
- It helps funnel like-minded people to my social group. People who get excited about the same books and ideas as me are probably people I am excited to befriend.

What if I told you there is an activity that is risk free, has an insane compounding effect, is widely accessible, dirt cheap, and almost no one else is doing taking advantage of it.
Reading will make you intelligent, interesting, wise, and it'll fill your soul. It'll keep you out of trouble, there is no negative effect for overconsumption, and you can't go broke doing it.

This page is where I host all my book content and thoughts.
I write about books because it helps me mentally process books better. I don’t want to just say I read a book, I want to really learn what an author is saying and that requires me to spend time writing what I think I learned. I also write about books because I want to attract like-minded people to my life and my book club.People who get excited about the same books and ideas as me are probably people I am excited to befriend.
