Read Classics and Original Works, Not Later Summaries
Another way to do this is to read originals and read classics. If you’re interested in evolution, read Charles Darwin. Don’t begin with Richard Dawkins (even though I think he’s great). Read him later; read Darwin first If you want to learn macroeconomics, first read Adam Smith, read von Mises, or read Hayek. Start with the original philosophers of the economy.

- The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
读法比读量重要:和这个星球上每一个时代的顶点对话,阅读经典,原典,而不是后世的总结;广泛涉猎,去功利心;不必读完整本,且要学会 质疑 。读的目的是建立 思维模型——science, math, and philosophy one hour per day。
- 书架
选书不必选,用滤:活得久的书优先,道理在 时间是最诚实的评审。读法上,尽量 阅读经典,原典,而不是后世的总结。
- 别靠摘要略过大师的智慧
这正是 读原典而非后人摘要 的塞内加版。而它戳我的地方在于,我到现在还常犯——总想靠别人嚼过的二手货省事,把整片森林换成一句提要。
