there’s just a lot of books in the world, and a limited amount of time for you to read them. i like having at least a rough idea of how I’ll invest my time
Yes, everyone has different views about that. Personally, it’s precisely because we have limited time that I want to experience a variety of things without limiting myself to a subset of all of the literature. Many people like to read, say, mainly Sci-fi and that’s good: they know exactly what they like. Me? I tend to get bored of a particular genre or theme pretty easily, and that’s why I like to be chaotic. One more thing: I really, really dislike other people or machines telling me what to read, so whenever someone gives me a book recommendation, that book goes to the bottom of my priority list 😅.
