Interesting how Naval Ravikant has a different way of reading, in the sense, he doesn’t start with the intention of finishing it. He admits to reading 6-7 books at a time while reading bits and pieces of each depending on his inclination... different ways of reading but both effective nonetheless. The other parts are spot on: reading for at least an hour if not more per day etc etc

I know how it is when you come across a thing you disagree and then it takes longer to finish. With stories is different because the author takes you to the journey the reader decides to make when it starts reading the book. With this video, I've been confirmed what I was thinking: that Bill Gates reads books turning page after page, like any other human being! :-)

I am not enjoying it in English, I think it needs to be read in a Latin language to really get the flavor of it, however, I do not speak or read Spanish yet; so I think his other books I will get in French. My French is quite advanced.
