@bibliolater @philosophy @bookstodon Reasons why I don't read #books - quite interesting and more than I thought:

0/ Need to buy #book AND store it physically which I don't having move a bit or reducing as a lifestyle from so many clothes and purchase to almost just food - I've cut down all possession and to large extent "Internet" replaces or serves everything!

(Internet as library, tea shop to chat, images for clothes and ideas "in future" instead of actually buying them I keep the image!, newspapers clips, interaction / observation etc).

Strange to write but nice overall I hope to replace and stick to gardening / Earth / emotional intelligence etc...

A static Library is a shame for me also and kills the books somewhat over time unless you have guest that ask as active ornamental discussion pieces (education of sorts so can work).

When moving once I left a book at each bus stop with a note inside asking nicely to protect or pass it on and maybe it needs to live, maybe why i liked the book as many you can't be sure of...

1/ Often I have to pull myself out all media and the magnetism of it unless directly which I'm into (which was everything and now narrow and zooming out again)

All media is magnetic to the level of "Oh man I have to dedicate my life to this" as a factor making me 'unsure' to read it if it's that good... mostly because I have to make notes I don't unless relative... which most is so shrug I guess I have to choose well.

Summary of point - I'm limiting myself with all medium or it's easier to preview with audio / disposable after finishing audio and I can multi-task or make notes at the same time...

2/ It's also the medium of reading is too focused for body physically - so on computer or as physical book - almost too narrow for body (nice for downtime or fun BUT FOR ME intensive if away from computer perhaps - making proper notes on paper (and then computer after). So computer is maybe used as notes for eventually anyway...

3/ NO SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS IN BOOKS ! <---- YEAH that is it reading all these things would be better IF it gave solutions quickly and wasn't such a gamble.... and I pretty sure most don't or a it's a genre trying to make you 'feel' something via characters (kinda ok but the other version of points / Cliff Notes also is good so you are not investing in the drama / dramatics to see the points).

4/ Often the points are spelled out in different genres so it's even further a gamble... if not practical in your life or you're in love with how someone writes....

For me must be practical or relative in some sense... I can read long if it's in their light more clearly...
