Excerpt: "I shouldn't be able to read most of the books on my shelf. I never took a single classical history class and I cheated through most of Economics 001. Still, the loci of my library are Greek History and Applied Economics. And though they often are beyond me educationally, I'm able to comprehend them because of some equalizing tricks. Reading to lead or learn requires that you treat your brain like the muscle that it is--lifting the subjects with the most tension and weight. "

Pawnking,
Thanks for the link. Its theme fits in with some other works that I've been reading lately.
