"Los buenos libros, como los buenos amigos, son pocos y escogidos; cuanto más selectos, más agradables."
— Louisa May Alcott

Simplified Meaning:
Just like we don't have many close friends but treasure the ones we do, we don't need a lot of books, just special ones. Imagine you have two friends: one who always supports you and makes you happy, and another who is just okay. You'd probably enjoy spending more time with the supportive friend because your time together is richer and more meaningful. The same goes for books. Having a few really great books that you love and learn from is better than having many books that don't interest you. If you choose your books carefully, you will find reading more enjoyable and fulfilling. So, instead of trying to read every book out there, pick the ones that really speak to you, and you’ll find greater joy in reading.
