You are right, a lot of books are redundant. The gems are becoming rarer and rarer the more you read. You get the feeling that whatever unique message a writer has, if he has one, is buried beneath a ton of words.

You will also notice that the books you read become increasingly more arcane to the point where you question your own sanity. It's almost like porn, the more you watch, the more extreme the content gets. I think this is one of the main reasons for the prevalence of occult stuff over the ages.
