Liked the first edition, but there’s a lot of fluff. These days I have Claude remove the useless passages from stuff I want to read fast. Helps to make flash cards to drill for system design rounds.
I use Claude Opus to rip thru books. It points out the fluff paragraphs so I skip them. Finished stuff I prob never would've touched: Slaughterhouse Five, The Three-Body Problem. I make quick Anki cards from the Opus reading sessions so I don't forget plot bits. I try to get Opus to quiz me on the sections it told me to focus on reading.
