Deep layers of context are missed when cursorily reading for quantity at the expense of comprehension - only the vapid are impressed by those who try to squeeze as many books as possible into each passing month as if shoving one more oiled hot dog down the gullet in a food eating contest to prove accumulation superiority.

About This Quote

Many people will read a lot of books in a month to show off their huge book collection. However, the only person that will be impressed by this is someone who also has a huge book collection. It is not going to impress anyone else. When you read a book, you have to give it your full attention and not just glance at the book while you are reading it. Reading a lot of different books can be an interesting way to learn new things, but if you do not take the time to understand the information, then it is just a waste of time.
