Loved that Twilight Zone episode!

 

No. Never learned how.

 

I'm pretty much the same. I have a lame eBook reader and is very convenient. It's not that I travel frequently. I'm just a lazy-ass

Oh man. What memories. I spent like two or three years reading almost only SKing. Kept doing it until the 2000s roughly.

DISCLAIMER: rant following

BTW, shame on him for leaving abandoned the Dark Tower saga for like, decades. At least the fucker ended it, but I had no interest anymore. That's a lesson every scifi/fantasy fan learns the hard way. And the reason I'll never read JRR Martin's "Song of Fire and Ice (Game of Thrones)" saga.

Even a trilogy like Patrick Rothfuss' "The Kingkiller Chronicle (The Name of the Wind)" can fuck you hard. I read the splendid first two. I waited, kept waiting only to find out the poor guy lately has major health problems and just can't finish it.

 

Prefer to meditate than read.

 

Don't get me started on Rothfuss, I forgave his mental health reasons. He took money with the promise of a chapter in return, then fucked off with the money. At that point I had enough. I don't usually swear, but I waited 15 years for nothing to happen.

 

Only if the reading makes me miserable. That's why I read political essays and philosophy a lot to being able to have a better understanding of the utterly fucked world we live in while not being able to do anything about it.

Those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it; those who do are condemned to watch the other fuckers repeat it anyway, helplessly.
