Simon Sarris, Reading Well:
You should start many books and complete few. You should never feel beholden to completing them, there are simply too many worthwhile works to read.
I’m a completionist. I don’t like leaving books, let alone series of books, unfinished. But, endorsements from Sarris (and Austin Kleon) on leaving books unfinished, possibly by throwing them across the room, is a strong-enough signal. 🙃
🔥I wish I’d heard this advice when I was reading The Black Swan.
