Reading

Every year, I create a reading list and then get through some of it. In 2017 I was reading zero books a year and by the time 2023 rolled around I was up to between 25 and 35 books per year.

The number isn’t that important, what’s important is:

– I rediscovered the joy of reading I had in my childhood.
– My mind feels nicer when I read. Short form content has a more frenetic vibe.
– I learn more from reading than I do from watching.
– I’m less anxious about the state of the world when the algorithms aren’t feeding me content.
