Comment on When reading a book how do you validate the thesis in an unknown field for you?

Comments

You read the reviews about the book and get a sense of how it was received.

This is why I've never read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah

Although a best seller, the scholarly reception was not great, and I'd just rather read other things.

Sometimes, though, I still want to read those books to see the author's arguments/points.
