I thought that era was over because of all the advances on the internet...but I still like to read books every now and then although not as much as I was in 2010...but reading it off the paper has it's own charm....

I used to love reading, 1 book per week usually, but it's been years since I read for fun. Everything I read now is work related sht, been meaning to get back into reading but just never feel like it.

Yes. I read every day. Although not physical books, I read my books on Kindle.

DAILY! I can live so many lives/experiences through reading books. Can have mentors like Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger. I read more than watch TV.

Unfortunately I don't have that much time for it. Fortunately audiobooks can be done while doing other things, so I listen to a lot of those

Yeah I always have a backlog of books I need to read. I haven't been on it much lately but I usually get out to a local park to catch up during summertime. I hate reading indoors, it feels claustrophobic.

I'm really picky on my books. I only want to read the best. With that being said, Robert Jackson Bennett is a fairly young modern author who captures my interest. I recommend the book Foundryside by him. Its about a psychic thief with psychometry. She can read the memory of inanimate objects basically. I felt like it related a lot to my schizophrenia. That's why I enjoyed it.
You are your thoughts. Life is perception, thoughts are perception, perception is reality ergo thoughts are reality, I think therefore I am.
