I just finished reading [The Information Diet](https://www.amazon.com/Information-Diet-Case-Conscious-Comsumption/dp/1491933399), and I was left a little confused and disappointed. I felt like it was marketed as a book for the average person looking to be more mindful about their information/media consumption, however, it was more about challenging people to look at both sides of the US political spectrum and to get more involved in local politics.<p>So, with that, any suggestions for books along the lines of being more intentional about the information/media we consume? It's a difficult thing to do in this day and age, but as I'm now a parent, I want to learn to be better at this, and model this for more children as well.
Pound's ABC of Reading[0] has been popular since its publication. I would inlcude Adler's How to Read a Book[1] as well. While these focus on literature, I think that there is a lot of overlap in technical and CS based writing. The primary disctinction would be that the later would be repeatable or implemented by the reader.<p>[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_of_Reading" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_of_Reading</a>
