To read, is to evolve

I’m not a speed-reader. I would say, I struggle to read more than 5 books a year. I buy more books than I’m able to read. That’s not a problem per se, just a matter of fact. Maybe one day I will get through all the books on my shelf. I wish I had the self-control and bandwidth to read more day to day. Shit, who doesn’t?

Today, I came across this tweet, and I have no thoughts to offer up other than, she’s right.

Reading more books isn't the goal. Books are a means to an end.

The end is to become a wiser person, to spark imagination, to satisfy your curiosity, to get a deeper understanding of a topic, to get inside someone else's head.

Not everything is a race or competition
