True, but you can choose what books to read by which author. :smirk:

So if you enjoy their message or opinions, you can choose to keep reading them.

I have no idea what I'm talking about... :grin:

As for books, I've gained a lot of knowledge from them. It all depends on what you're interested in and finding the right books...

I spend a lot of time in libraries, bookstores and especially used bookstores, you can find amazing deals at used bookstores. I'm lucky and live near 5 or 6 of them within blocks.

I really do derive pleasure from a good book...it's exciting for me, not boring at all, to sit with a book.




I wish more people were like that. I love reading for the simple sake of reading. I even re-read books that I've already read. I have read some of my favorite novels 7-8 times each (like The Lord of the Rings).


And then there's always that one person who has to walk up to me while I'm reading something and:

stranger: "What are you reading that for? School?"
me: "No, just for fun."
stranger: "You....read....for fun?" (utterly confused expression)

:rolleyes:

I'm an english major and I love books.  For me, a book is the most efficient way of acquiring knowledge about any given subject.  If you read a biography about Paul McCartney, say, you're going to know a whole lot about Paul McCartney.  There's something about absorbing information in novel form that  really lends itself to long term memory formation.

I always carry around a novel in my backpack, so I can keep myself occupied waiting in long lines, on the bus, etc. 

If you want to get yourself stoked on chem and bio, read PIHKAL!
