I consume books daily, 98% of them non-fiction. My primary medium is audio, which acts as a filter. I finish about half of the books I start, and about 1 in 10 I listen to at least twice. About once a year, I review the books I've listened to over the past year and order physical copies of the brilliant ones. This keeps my bookshelf curated with only high-quality selections.
