Read nigga, READ. Read hard shit. The Iliad. Canterbury Tales. Man of La Mancha. War and Peace. There’s an entire western canon out there. Throw in some Gravity’s Rainbow or Infinite Jest to liven things up. Maybe genre fiction if you are getting burnt out, some Tolkien or something. But the point is to READ your ass off. Working your brain out is like cardio, it’s a numbers game. Thousand pages a month, minimum. If you have a non-shit attention stamina, and can actually focus without zoning in and out, do audiobooks during mindless tasks.

Mind what you read. You are what you eat.
