You shouldn’t finish every book you start.

Abandoning a book is not an admission of failure—it’s a sign of wisdom. You’ve decided to let go of sunk costs.

The purpose of reading is to be entertained and informed. If a book doesn't bring joy or insight, it’s time to move on.

Sinéad O’Connor's I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got turns 35 today. The record begins with a recitation of the Serenity Prayer and ends with the title track, an a cappella hymn of self-acceptance.
