HRK is for learning physics, feynman is for feeling like you're learning physics when you aren't, and ll is for feeling like you're understanding nothing.

LL and Feynman are definitely nice to look back upon though.

L&L assumes a particular set of steps and shared reading culture. I had the good fortune to have a professor take me through volume 1 in a classical mechanics class. Thereafter other volumes became very straightforward to read and taught me a lot of physics.

Yeah I think that's right. LL is now something I look back upon frequently for reference... but you have to have been introduced properly.
