The author reflects on their reading journey, moving from thrillers to classics and non-fiction. They highlight the shift in focus from quantity to the lasting impact of reading, as many books read over time lead to only a limited retention of ideas and concepts. This raises an existential question about the true value of reading. Despite initially loving the process, the author grapples with the realization that much of their reading may not provide lasting value, prompting them to question the worth of the time spent reading compared to other forms of entertainment.
This leads to a troubling realization: so much of what we read evaporates from memory, leaving one to question if the effort of reading is truly worth it.
The initial excitement of reading and the pursuit of knowledge gave way to a more sobering understanding that the detailed arguments and important points often fade away.
