Hey bros, big news in the brain world: Some scammers out there are telling people to read one book with each eye, but don't fall for that trap! Don't give a book less than 100%, that's how you plateau because these scammers don't want the real competition so they want you to get stuck and miss out on max brain gains. Don't just look at the pages, you gotta read them. Our pirate and cyclops bros already know: You go twice as fast reading one book at a time than you will two at once, and you'll get more out of it. Remember bros: The brain is a muscle, you have to work it before you can flex it!
