Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Joshua Felty asks Are you a bookworm? Do you like browsing libraries/bookstores? Do you manage to find time to read what you’re interested in?

From middle school through college, in the pre-Internet days, I spent a LOT of time in libraries. After college, I’d go to Barnes and Noble at least once a week just to browse the books.

With the arrival of the internet, much of what I was looking for I could find online.

When I was traveling, I purchased a Kindle that allowed me to have access to the world’s largest bookstore from almost anywhere on Earth.

Nowadays, I’m shifting back to physical books and physical media in general. I’ve been trying to read and not be in front of a monitor for at least an hour a day

I’ve found that taking that time every day to read and not be online is actually really important.
