As an adult the only book have reread is Infinite Jest. Onto my third round. I don't think it has made me any wealthier or even generally better off at all. It's just very entertaining.

Every single book can be summarized into a 10 page article at most. Every single one of these authors has put a lot of effort into padding their content to fill up a book. It's not like they had to cut down and squeeze their content into a book. Most books are like this (yes, even your favorite """masterpiece"""), but self-help and educational shit are notoriously worse.
My advice is to listen to the audiobook format once (while doing a chore or working out), and then use an LLM to summarize the book so you can occasionally re-read them quickly.

Konosuba, the structure from volume to volume is just a joy.

It makes the book better, I'll give you that and I re-read it several times before the movie came out. Christian Bale's Metropolitan yuppie swagger take was not what I expected, but it works exceptionally well. I literally can't read it now without hearing his voice
