Reading is a critical skill to have. Lifelong education is power, flexibility, wealth and knowability. However.

Once you reach a certain amount of books read a few things happen:

1. You forget concepts
2. Ideas overlap
3. You wonder how to leverage the knowledge in your life
4. You want to reference quotes and parables
