Would be useful to extend this to history books. For example, I'm going to Germany twice in the next six months and am reading a lot of history for background context. I'm enjoying a huge history of Frederick the Great, over 600 pages but am aware I'm going to forget most of what I'm enjoying now by the time I finish the book! Anyway, thanks for all this, I'll see how I can apply it to my case!
This is exactly what I've been thinking about lately! I'm trying to take more time between books, as I wrote about here: https://neurodivergentnotes.substack.com/p/rest-and-digest But it's not easy! I'd never thought about it as a dopamine hit before, but it totally is 🤯
