Reading habits that changed my life
> I read about 3 books in a month and 60 pages per hour. Not quite the same as Bill Gates who reads about 150 pages in an hour with 90% retention but I’m slowly getting closer.<p>Reading books and trying to remember the maximum information seems rather pointless unless you're specifically studying for an exam or something. Your brain already optimises and retains the most relevant/interesting information for you. We don't have limitless memory and we need to forget things in order to learn new ones. Reading 3 books per month and retaining 90% seems both highly unlikely and pointless in the long term.
