Reading and comprehension helps with IQ, in other words.

I started reading late in life (about 40). Now I feel like I’m trying to catch up and I regret not being a reader at an earlier age. On the other hand, certain classic literature makes more sense now than it would have to me at 18. For instance, crime and punishment is about how an atheist can justify any action, even murder, and is why atheism is very dangerous.

It’s basically a compendium of their best self-management articles. So far, it’s been a great read filled with lots of wisdom. What’s interesting from what I’ve read so far are that the authors stress the importance of your family relationships and relationships with your friends and really prioritizing those relationships over your work. They still stress that work is important, but to make sure that you keep focus on what’s really important and why, and why it is that you go to work.

If the book keeps going the way it has been, this book will be a yearly read for me.

That's enough reading time brah. Mirin. And the KJV is an incredible work. Everyone should read all the major religious works imo.

See post #34 brah.



Solid recommendations bro. Repped.

Agreed 100%. Mind recommending some of your favourites brah?

I like reading books. However it's one of many I like to spend time on.

It's not about how many books you read, it's always about how much you could learn from the experiences like any in your short life.

If you like it just do it and enjoy, there's no need to make a big deal out of it.

You can do whatever you want, if reading is your thing then by all means, go for it. We are all different.
I like learning new information, I just prefer a lot of random information at a much faster pace. Sitting there for days and wasting your time on a single book isn't for me.
