  1. Learn to "X-ray" a book by reviewing the Table of Contents and only reading the sections / chapters that will be benefit you. And don't feel like you have to read an entire book.

Excuse my triple posting, but I want to point out that Hitler did this. He never filled his head with information he thought was useless just say he "finished" a book. The books are there to serve you, not the other way around; and you shouldn't read books out of some vain pursuit of being able to say "I read this". If something is irrelevant to your goals, then skip it, and go to a topic that concerns you.

Do you really think this is what he meant? I took it to mean consciously storing or forgetting various information based on its importance. Am I autistic?

Is there a complete file for all the Barnes Reviews?

Also, there was a distant time in Japan when the country experienced peace for almost three or four centuries. It was really around the time of the decline of Rome I think. Is there any decent book that covers this time?

Great thing with electronic versions is that you can look for words. Although it does not train your mind to remember mental bookmarks.

I've only found the issues which are in this thread. The digital subscription gives access to the magazines from 2014 onward.
