Now the title has been truncated even further, from "Reasons to choose your reading carefully" to "Choose your reading carefully". Just use the original title, which was fine. In fact, it was better, because "three thousand reasons" refers to the number of books left in the author's reading-lifetime. This context has now been stripped, for no good reason.

This sort of questionable title editing is a recurring theme on Hacker News. I might be willing to help with this issue if there's an easy way to get involved. I think the kind of editorial judgment required to make good title changes is right in my wheelhouse.
