“Re-Read The Masters You were in high school when you read The Great Gatsby for the first time. You were just a kid when you read The Count of Monte Cristo or had someone tell you the story of Odysseus. The point is: You got it right? You read them. You’re done, right? Nope. We cannot be content to simply pick up a book once and judge it by that experience. It’s why we have to read and re-read.”
“1) The taste of (cold) revenge is by far the most underrated human experience. Not for cowards. Not be good for society except when revenge does not lead to more revenge. 2) Written ~170 y ago. I've never read more limpid more recent page turner.#Lindy = #ergodic seller! https://t.co/ODPZoPB6pb”
“I'll say you have to read a classic. I think so many people don't want to read classic literature but that is just a huge mistake. I can never say it right Don Quijote, The Count of Monte Cristo, Moby Dick, actually I wasn't huge for Moby Dick. I read Catch 22 recently too which is another classic.”
