  SPEAKER_00: What sort of system should you use to read more?
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I've talked about the importance of taking a book everywhere that you go before, but one way to maximize your creativity and your productivity even more when it comes to reading is to read two books simultaneously.

  SPEAKER_00: One for education and one for pleasure.

  SPEAKER_00: Now, of course, reading at all is fantastic, but when you read two books concurrently, that cross-pollination between those books can spark creative ideas that you would not have otherwise.

  SPEAKER_00: It's probably not realistic to flip back and forth between five or ten books, reading a bit of each one before reading a bit of another, but two books, you can definitely read two books at one time.
