Learning another language would open up an entire new world of knowledge for you. There is always something “lost in translation” when a text is not read in its original language. That’s why I’m learning a few eastern languages-their thought systems developed completely separately from the west and it’s fascinating what they came up with in ancient China and Edo Japan and the like.

This is SUCH a brilliant perspective! I've always wondered why exactly I enjoy re-reading books or rewatching TV shows. It makes SO much sense that we are bringing a new part of ourselves-our lives-to the medium that allow us to recontextualise what's going on and deepen our understanding. The first reading is like the puzzle pieces are all scattered-the world is being set up brick by brick. The subsequent readings are like seeing the final piece of art coming together-and you find yourself enveloped in the world, like the Harry Potter universe for example! I've finally started (since yesterday) writing notes on the media that I consume... and I'll try to be more mindful about consuming quality content haha 😅

I LOVE re-reading books, especially novels. Now that I am solidly in my 50s, about 25% of my novel reading is actually rereading. It's so powerful to revisit a book that you loved 30 years ago and find new depths that 25 year-old me couldn't see. So far, the vast majority of my rereads have held their quality. This shouldn't be surprising. Thomas Mann said something like, "You would never listen to a great symphony one time; it is equally in error to read a great book only once." For me, the ultimate justification for rereading is pleasure. I find that a reread is almost always more pleasurable than a read.

Its interesting you attach the differences in interpretations etc with reading books to snapshots of your past. While it is probably much the same thing I feel when I re-read books (or re-watch movies) I tend to much more focus on the person I have become rather than considering the person I was. What I get from a book has evolved with what is important to me at the time. Also just as important in the pace at which it happens… as I've aged I have found that I do fewer things, with more purpose but at a slower pace. In many ways I find that a first read is like watching something in SDR and then when re-reading I'm able to enjoy it in 4K HDR. And once you know what's going on you can enjoy things in a very different way… like riding a bike. As for reading "trash"… I love it. Just like I love to watch trash movies sometimes. For me it all about purpose and the attention/energy I want to give to it. I like that I can put it down and then pick it up 6 months later and not care about what happened on the pages before. Some days I want to enjoy something Michelin starred, other days I enjoy kebabs just the same… most days its something in the middle of that. PS Watched it on Nebula. 🙂

There's a book called "The well educated mind" by Susan Bauer that outlines a proper formula for deep study of books (classical works to be more specific). I found it incredibly helpful at a time when I was finally able to admit that my chaotic reading habits were causing havoc on my ability to read and think deeply. The process she suggests touches many of the points you mentioned. It's a great read for anyone who wants to start reading seriously and hone their critical thinking skills at the same time.

As someone who loves to reread my favorite books and other media I completely understand what you mean with comfort dopamine. 💖 I'm reminded of the Jewish interpretation technique called Pardes. I first heard about it on the podcast Harry Potter and the sacred text but it is similar to what you describe. You read a passage several times and look for deeper and deeper meanings. You try to find the surface level, any symbols, other occurances of this within the same text and the secret of what is being said. I would highly recommend that podcast if you are a literature lover and a Harry Potter lover.

You're literally going through the life cycle of an Otaku. I've watched about 300 animes and I re-watched good ones for last 6 or so months and it's just so much better than just keeping up with seasonal animes although I do that anyway, it's like eating junk food. I've watched shingeki no kyojin 3 times, first in English later in Japanese with subtitles and lastly without subtitles and it shows how much Japanese I've learnt in past 3 years... It was totally worth it! I've also just learnt German to about A2 level just because snk had a few German lines in openings, also totally worth it. Someday I'm going to learn German and be familiar with German culture a little more to watch it for the 4th time in Deutsch. Honestly it's been such a mess that I'm still processing how much I've changed so I'm just trying to focus on my language skills. I'd say I grew up with Eren so yeeeah it's a mess.

Ad Dopamine and New Worlds/ There used to be a big old building almost in every town in Europe called library. You might tried those as a child. Nice that you are so excited about reading. When you have enough of it, try lucid dreaming. Any book from Stephen LaBerge, Ph.D. can help. According to my experience, which is very similar to yours (except the age - you could be my daughter), on some stage of your life you will get bored of books. Nothing is more exciting than our own subconscious mind. Lucid dreaming is the tool and so much fun! There is no book that can compare to our (subconscious) mind. Funny to see someone who talks almost as fast as I do.

I have a thought about the book snob part! something I've been trying and LOVE is to read the last 1-3 chapters of a fiction book if I'm interested in the plot/concept/etc of the book. I call it "book trailers", to get the tone/language/purpose of the book and also determine whether I would want to go back and read it from the beginning. For most I haven't, while a few I went back a few more chapters. I felt like I got from the book what I needed to get at the time and it allows me to "read" books I'm interested in and make more time for the book topics/genres/tropes that I will love. For NF I'm now going to ask myself whether I would reread it, a great tip, thank you. Recently I've been reading through nonfiction goodreads reviews for books I'm vaguely interested in but don't want to put on hold or I just want the main point/answer and not read the whole thing for ~4+ hours. I read the 5 stars, 1 stars, and 3 stars reviews, and at least a few reiterate the author's main points and they give me a feel for the book content and it helps me decide whether I want to read the book fully or not (usually it's been 'not').

"I want to learn more, feel more, read more, experience more all the time." Really hits different when it's playing at 1.5x speed and I have electronic music on in the background. I do relate a lot with your content. One thing I'd add that is pretty useful and fun for re-reads is learning about the author whether in regards to the literature or cultural context. I try to mix up my currently reading list like you and I try to sprinkle some short stories to the mix. I recently bought a fantasy collection with Lovecraft and Wells, etc so I will re-read Lovecraft's stories but I just watched a Lovecraft analysis highlighting that, even for back then, he was a reactionary thinker (in the political sense) and will make it a much different read than the first time. The youtube video is almost an hour and half long by Chill Goblin and is really good for anyone interested. It also made me think of your Harry Potter mention, I did really enjoy them when I read them years ago but there are aspects of Rowling's writing that I won't have picked up first time that would make it interesting to go back to. One little example being that when Malfoy and the 'bad guys' are acting like bullies it's naturally seen as bad but then the 'good guys' do the same kind of name calling and fat shaming, etc it's portrayed as fine, and even Rowling herself with the descriptions often do the same kind of childish name calling so picking up on those kind of things would make it more fun to me. I think learning about criticisms or just writing in general, which seem like nit-picking, is not only very good for keeping up investment in a book but seeing the faults and understanding it helps make ourselves become more aware of our own possible ignorance and prejudice. Which I feel fits well with the words of your intro.

It's so interesting that you say you realized that "pop" culture books may not really be worthy of spending your time on even with the first reading but definitely not worth ever rereading. I say that because I feel that you spend a lot of your time creating content on youtube which is really a sort of "pop" culture information: short, quick tidbits that will catch people's eye. Obviously, you get more out of the these because catching the eye = clicks = $$$. But although your ideas may sometimes be novel, they are more fluff than solid. Don't get me wrong. I sometimes enjoy watching them - just as you still will read "pop" books - and you are a pretty amazing person.

I wonder if those observations of yours apply to just books with a story. I often read let's say textbooks or science books with no story whatsoever. Just facts, techniques or knowledge. Is it worth my time to re-read the book? 🤔🤔

I first saw u in Ali Abdaal's video where u were his assistant. I didn't you talk too fast until now 😂. But ur so smart and beautiful wow. I was thinking of rereading some books too but I also have this fear of missing out on new books that I HAVE to read. This video just puts everything in perspective. I'll make sure to reread my books at some point. Thanks for this!

Have read a memoirs of any rapper because you speak ever so fast as if I'm in a restaurant and a waitress comes to me and reel off the stuffs which she's got on her list in one go. Though I don't have problem with that but every now and then it takes time to process things in mind because English is not my first language although I'm from India where English is must to have a corporate job but still most people ain't used to Americans/Britishers who speaks like Eminem. Ok, I just wanted to say that this is the second video of yours which I watched today and it was quite fascinating and informative. I was wondering if you've watched inception movie. If you watch it again and again as you reread books I'm damn sure you'll be able to create your own world in your dreams hehe because If my memory serves me right you were saying kind of same thing in your video that you create your own world through books kind of... and once you have that knack as we saw in inception pls pls don't forget to invite me in and in any case If don't comply with your rules there then you can chuck me out as well. hehe. Anyways, wish you a plethora of success for you and your channel.
