This book has given to me as home reading for a course in university I have this semester "Introduction to theoretical physics". Basically I have roughly a chapter to read every week for tuesdays (I have specific to read pages, but its basically the entire chapter).
I have to read chapters 1-12, of course minus the problems at the end of each chapter. I will update my progress weekly. If I at any point think there is no chance I actually read it all, I will resolve NO early.

I voted no, so now I have opinions. Here are some reasons not to read:
* boring!
* just learn it in class
* you could use the time to do something more fun, like go on a date
* if you don't read it, I win my bet!
* need to learn something? Just use youtube
* Remember, SBF and Kanye both say books are lame
@Morgan lol :D well, thank you for betting, but I should say I rather disagree with you about it being boring. And this is some of the stuff you no longer can good find stuff on youtube for :D but yeah, this market is about weather I will get myself to actually do it, because I've been struggling lately with doing so.
@ScipioFabius Isn't this Strogatz's course on youtube right here? Probably more efficient to watch that instead of reading the book.
Or you could upload the text of the book to GPT and interrogate it.
There's really no reason to actually read it. You can learn it all in other ways.
@Morgan Oh damn okay, thank you for the link, that is some good stuff there! I think I will certainly sprinkle in some of that during the coming months as an additive to the course I'm already taking or if I dont understand something. That said, I will disagree with you to some degree about no reason of reading the book, because my goal here is to build understanding, and sometimes that exactly means just going through a (good) textbook example by example so it all clicks together and I can use my time more efficiently in class (as the saying goes - repetition is Mother of understanding).
And another reason is that I just want to get back into a healthy habit of reading, and this seems like a good opporunity. And the book is actually really well written.
