The more you read the more those hard as shit books will be fun to read, and be easier to defer gratification for.

reading without pleasure is stupid. avoiding tough close readings, re-reads, making notes etc. is lazy and will deprive you of higher pleasures. there's nothing wrong with reading a low-brow pallet-cleanser between the Pynchons and Melvilles.
