I'd say it depends on your purposes. The entirety of human knowledge is incredibly vast, even within some individual fields. I'm extremely interested in shallow but broad summaries of ideas, in order to compile a kind of inventory of ideas that are out there, so that if I encounter something interesting while reading, I then have a better chance of having knowledge of pre-existing knowledge that I can dig down into if I'm particularly interested in a particular idea.
