    I figure I already read tens of thousands of words a day on here and the news apps, and it’s not exactly doing me mental health favors - so I went and renewed my library card this winter and have knocked out about 15 in 4 months. It feels really good to get your sense of focus and attention span back! Takes a bit of time but its like riding a bike, your brain goes back to being a kid.

    I hope you had books as a kid.

    I hope your kid has books today.

      This was me, last week lol. Already had the card, but criminally underused it. I love philosophy, but haven’t read most of the actual works, so I picked up some Camus and Kafka. Just finished The Fall, and I’m so glad to have done so.

      I also signed up for Libby, thinking audiobooks on hikes would be dope, but so far my mind wanders too much to absorb the words, so that’s been challenging.
