1/ @ShaneAParrish on @FreedomPactPod

2.5/ Bonus: Tips from @tferriss
-Let your friends filter your books: “I very rarely read anything that isn’t recommended to me by someone who I know is very selective and snobby about book choice.” –Tim
-Once a book has 300+ reviews, you can trust that most reviews are legit.

3/ @AnneBogel on TRJ
-All readers go through a rite of passage from having books assigned to them to selecting their books proactively.
-Once you leave school, you have to learn how to select good books & find time to read on your own because no one will make you read anymore.

4/ @ayjay on @artofmanliness
-There’s a big difference between wanting to read a book and wanting to say you’ve read a book.
-Many books aren’t bad per se; they’re just not right for you.
-Let kids read what they want—this helps them build a positive association with reading.

5/ @EricJorgenson on TRJ
-If you’re new to reading, Naval’s advice is to read what you love until you love to read.
-If you want to read “junk” books, read them. Eventually, you’ll make your way to the “healthy” books.
-It's okay to skim a book or skip to different chapters.
