Summary:  Read something educational, not just entertaining.  Better yet, read something written by a genius.

Congratulations, you’re reading a book.

But what are you reading?  Hmm . . .  A little light, don’t you say?

Here’s an idea for your next book.  Don’t just entertain yourself, educate yourself.

Read something written by somebody smarter than you.  Like a genius.  There must have been at least a million of them since the beginning of civilization. You choose.

If you read something written by a genius, you just might improve your own mind, elevate your thoughts, become a better person. Fancy that.
