“Master
those books you have. Read them thoroughly. Bathe in them until they
saturate you. Read and reread them…digest them. Let them go into
your very self. Peruse a good book several times and make notes and
analyses of it. A student will find that his mental constitution is
more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by twenty books he
has merely skimmed. Little learning and much pride comes from hasty
reading. Some men are disabled from thinking by their putting
meditation away for the sake of much reading. In reading let your
motto be ‘much not many.’”
– Rev. Charles Haddon
Spurgeon, Lectures
