I found this on Facebook post by English literature and Language.
2. You are writing primarily for please yourself, and if you go about it with enjoyment you will also entertain the readers who are worth writing for. If you lose the dullards back in the dust, you don’t want them anyway.

5. The Changing Taste of Beer: Qualia are qualitative experiences such as tastes and smells, but how real are they? As an example, the philosopher Daniel Dennett cites the typical first reaction to the taste of beer: “What awful stuff!” But suppose you become a beer lover—has the taste of beer changed? Do you have different qualia, or do you have the same qualia but are just reacting differently?
I found in the course description for “Philosophy of Mind: Brains, Consciousness, and Thinking Machines”. I am so curious. I would like to buy this DVD in the near future.

8. If you don’t like something, stop reading it. You’re under no obligation to finish. It’s not required reading. You’re not being graded. This one is hard for me. I like commitment. When I start something I want to finish it. If I’ve invested time into reading so many pages, I might as well see it through. But I’ve learned how quickly this can kill my momentum and enthusiasm.

9. Confession time: I’ve had plenty of “classics” I stopped reading because I didn’t like them.

10. If you want to read a lot of books you have to finish them. You can’t just jump to the next one every time you see something shiny. Have the discipline to finish a book before moving on to the next one. If you’re tempted to start up a new book before you finish the old one, pay attention.
