Adler nails it

One word more. People go to sleep over good books not because they are unwilling to make the effort, but because they don't know how to make it. Good books are over your head. They wouldn't be good for you if they weren't. And books that are over your head weary you unless you reach up to them and pull yourself up to their level. It isn't stretching that tires you, but stretching unsuccessfully because you lack the skill. To keep on reading actively, you must have not only the will to do so, but the skill -- the art that enables you to elevate yourself by mastering what at first right seems to be over your head.

Adler is influential. To me. At the moment.

Ik moet toch iets lezen terwijl ik studeer. Tss.
