#239 I juggle six books at once—and here’s why it works
Manage episode 513313172 series 3000178
We share a six-book reading stack and explain why switching between genres—biography, classic epic, mystery, gothic, and marketing—makes ideas stick. We show how fast first reads, slow second reads, and simple note-taking turn reading into a useful habit.
• six-book list from Lucas to Homer to Hopkins
• how the chapter-by-chapter “buffet” system works
• why second reads deepen insight and recall
• Daniel Pink’s note-taking approach we use https://youtu.be/vhZ6QAYlA_g?si=6d9GU0e3sWRZW1iq
• parallels between Appointment with Death and Mexican Gothic
