For many younger people, the book is no longer popular. If you want to reach younger people you have to offer them a video.

 

Gary Valentine Lachman: Turn Off Your Mind: The Mystic Sixties and the Dark Side of the Age of Aquarius

 

I recently reread these two authors:

Ursula K Le Guin & Phillip K Dick.

It was a pleasure.

 

Used to read Le Guin, when I was kid. Good stuff

 

Yeah she wrote some youth books as well and they´re great reading too

 

I have read a lot and have a large library of books, but now I don't have time for myself, so I slowly vegetate and wait for death

 

If you like fantasy and imaginary heros, I recommend The Bible, Tora, Kuran...

 

If I read a book in .pdf format on my tablet while using virtual reality goggles does that count as reading and holding a book in my hand? I'm a child of the future.

 

You say it as if it was a bad thing, what's next? "Anyone can load up a DAW and make some music"?

For the record: I love books and libraries are sacred places to me. However, I also love my Kindle. Space is at premium, see.

But to topic, reading now Bob Woodward and Robert Costa - Peril

This shit's scarier than any horror book I've read.

 

Hell no, I don't want books to get replaced by clickbait, even if the videos were super professional and well intended they would be simplified so much that we get an Idiocracy style society within 2 generations tops :'D

 

I think this is bollocks, I know plenty of younger people who read.

And you know, sometimes watching a video can be helpful because you can get different visual representations than you would in a book. We still have lectures for learning do we not?

 

I used to hate novels cause I thought everyone book is like Harry Potter.

Later I discovered Dostojevski and Tolstoi, well I still haven't read them but I'm cool with novels now, thats good too :P

Stirner approves

Might as well just do every mistake by yourself then and waste even more lifetime as a result of that

 

Yep, very funny book full of Sci-Fi and urban legends.
Read it for fun, but NEVER follow instructions on explosives. Most of them are totally wrong or inaccurate which, in both cases, may lead to a disaster... for you but not your target. Additionally, buying, synthesize and/or mixing those chemicals is illegal in most countries.

 

Yeah, from the
Clandestine Chemistry Primer & FAQ

The whole FAQ is worth a read, by the way. Old as it might be, there are nuggets of wisdom buried in there.

 

I might be too old school, but god I hate reading pdf´s on screen, I prefer printed books, also old books smell nice

 

get an e ink reader no power (after changing pages) no glowing FYi

 

It's kinda meta reading manual

The Speed Reading by Tony Buzan.

 

As a film composer I find "The Plague" by Albert Camus and "In The Country Of Last Things" or "Lulu on The Bridge" by Paul Auster to be very musical books. Tons of ideas and inspiration, not to mention the fact that The Plague should be mandatory read for everyone. There is, imo, no clearer book about the human condition.
