Read three books on the same topic

Another take on “How To Read a Business Book”, from the 800-CEO-READ Blog has an interesting idea that I believe applies not only to management books.

To get the most out of a business book, you need to read two or three others on the same topic.

I believe this applies not only to books, but also to movies and other works of art / wisdom. The better your overview of the area, the better your understanding and the bigger your enjoyment.
