Read for breadth or depth or both?

Personally? Mostly depth, though I like when broader questions are raised towards the end of what I'm reading to frame what's been said.

I read for breadth when it comes to science.
Everything else is depth.

This comic makes me so sad every time I see it. I know it's an exaggeration, but I just can't believe that people really live like this.

Breadth. I want to have at least a grasp of the whole history and spectrum of literature and philosophy. Maybe when I feel I do, I will go for more depth.

Undergraduate = breadth.
Graduate = depth.
