What do you read?

How do you select what books you will read? To avoid wasting his time on bad books, Ralph Waldo Emerson used three criteria when selecting.

  1. Never read  a book that is not at least a year old.
  2. Never read a book that is not famous; and
  3. Never read anything but what you like.

What do you think of his criteria?
