> "I read many books not because I think I’ll ‘like’ them but because I think that I won’t..."

I won't necessarily intentionally look things I don't like but I will ask others what they're reading, what they suggest, and so on. It helps me escape confirmation bias.

The other hack I use is to read books referenced in the book I'm reading. These are often the book that influenced the book I'm reading. Getting back to basics, back to the source, is often helpful.



These are pretty mimetic ways to find books to read.


Not really. Not relative to myself. If you're going to deviate from patterns, that starts with self.
