Well I used to read a ton of books when I was a kid. Not many of them had literary value. Actually, probably none of them had. It was mostly fiction, novels, Choose Your Own Adventure. Hardy Boys, Sweet Valley Kids, Tolkien, Rober Jordan, etc etc. They were fun, and escape from the pressurs to study, and I’d stay up late at night to read, much to my moms chargrin. I did somehow manage to read Lee Iacoccas autobiography ha.
Fast forward to college, and with basically unlimited freedom and more interesting distractions, reading became a thing of the past. I hardly read my own textbooks, but thats another story. Movies, games, friends etc became much more fun obviously. I did pick up Game of Thrones somehow, even attending a reading by the author himself when he swung by Ann Arbor.
So who would have thought decades later, I pick up reading again, in the form of Audiobooks, to help me with my runs? By the way, I don’t count web comics and reading, my concious won’t let me. Again these are hardy Shakesphere, but I can’t deny I’m falling in love with them again.
Just thought it was interesting. I do have to try not to go home and read the rest of the story before my next run though!
