I like how this advocates the opposite stance of a post from a day or two ago that argued for letting yourself "forget" books and reading widely.

I think they can both be correct, and at the end of the day we shouldn't worry too much about being optimal. Leave some books quickly, keep others that feel deep enough to return to. Read for both learning and for pure entertainment. Read books that you already know you'll like, but leave room for some that could surprise you.
