A lot of long-form writing is lazy and designed to pad out the word count/page count.

I have never finished a single Cal Newport book because of this, and they're only about 250-300 pages as it is. All the value can be found in the first 50-75 pages. It's pure fluff after that.

I'm surprised "book summarization" services like Blinkist haven't become more popular.
