It's important to distinguish between books to read and books to inspect.

A vast majority belong in the latter.

How to Read a Book is a wonderful read on this topic.

When you say "How to Read a Book is a wonderful read," do you mean one ought to "read" or "inspect" it? :)

Inspecting is probably fine.

I did something in-between. But applying the principles is probably more important.
