When I first made reading a consistent part of my life, I read everything and anything because I did not know what I wanted to read or what I valued. Now, after a few years of reading widely and heavily, I have begun to skip pages in books when I don't see them as useful, close books after only a few pages when it becomes clear the book is not for me, and skip reading some books entirely because I know that they are not valuable to what I want. There are too many pages in this world for us to read everything. Therefore, we must choose and be picky with what we feed our minds.
