I gain the most by reading books from about 1920 to about 1979.

What I don't bother reading anymore is a non-fiction, New York Times bestseller that always has the form of something like "Robustness - The new science of blah blah blah".

There is always a better book on the topic that goes much deeper and that form is the dumb version meant to sell books.
