Each book you read adds to every book you have read. Ideas connect across texts. Concepts reinforce each other. Understanding deepens as you accumulate perspectives.

This compound effect means early reading matters most. The books you read in your twenties shape the books you understand in your forties. The foundation determines what can be built.

Reading need not be arduous. Twenty pages daily becomes over thirty books yearly. The habit matters more than the heroic session. Regular engagement beats occasional binges.
