Please explain. He said he wants to read more. What do you get by finishing the last 10 pages of potentially 700 page book on let's say climate history? Specifically.

Are you aware of the law of diminishing returns? Do you read all the appendix? Where do you stop?

I literally have 500+ books and read minimum one full hour a day (and don't get smart, that's a BARE MINIMUM) out of books that are usually 100+ years old. I go to estate sales EVERY WEEK and collect more books. I read like a madman and I am self employed so I have the time.
I am giving a legit tip. Many, many people don't have the motivation to read and part of it is because they feel like the "fail" if they don't finish a book. This leads to not starting books.
Actually think about what I'm saying. The guy said he wants to read more. What does he have to lose by trying this?
>pic related is one of three book cases in the very room I'm sitting in now
