How to read higher quality books
When 90% of everything else is crap
6 min readApr 6, 2022
Sturgeon’s law is a philosophical aphorism that states that 90% of everything is crap. And, of course, you should take this with a grain of salt.
“All things — cars, books, cheeses, hairstyles, people and pins are, to the expert and discerning eye, crud, except for the acceptable tithe which we each happen to like.”
— From Theodore Sturgeon’s “On Hand: A Book” (published in Venture Science Fiction, September 1957, Vol. 1, №5, pp. 49–50)
