Ask HN: Do hackers (you) read books cover to cover?
I realized today that I have purchased 9 books last one month. 8 are about technology and 9th one is "Viral loop".<p>But I realized that I haven't read any of these books from page 1 to page last.<p>Reading cover to cover would have been helpful but if I look at the trade-off between time spent and knowledge gained, I always like to read random chapters on need basis. It takes me a year to eventually go through every chapter.<p>Do you guys read the books same way ?
