About This Quote
Not all of us are educated enough to be able to choose what we want to read. However, I am sure that most of you have at least some idea of what not to read. You will recognize books that are not written for you. If you are not reading something that has anything to do with your life, then you are wasting your time. Unless you are a writer or someone who is working on a project that requires some research, then it is best that you avoid anything that isn’t directly related to why you started reading in the first place.
