I got struck by this idea: what if reading 2-3 books over and over again for a few months is actually better in terms of return compared to reading, say, 20 books?
Paradoxically, I got this idea by reading unscripted after 1 year of not having touched it. While I was re-reading it today, it felt like reading a new book.
My theory is that with time we achieve new experiences and we start connecting what we read to these new experiences, strengthening the synapses that weren't in your brain before.
Not to mention that most of what we read gets lost in the background, preventing the concepts to cement in the brain.
My experience with bulk reading is that you barely remember the majority of what you've read. In fact, what remains in your head is probably just the 20%.
Now, I'm going to experiment with reading 2-3 books over and over again for 2-3 months.
The goal is to try to connect the concepts with 2-5 different real-life examples before moving onto the next paragraph. This might seem boring to many, but I believe this is how we actually learn the most.
Anyways, has anyone tried re-reading the same stuff several times before putting the book back on the bookshelf and checking in the reading list?
I'm really curious about this.
