I can understand somebody not enjoying video games, but movies is a tough one for me. Does the same go for plays? If so, is there any narrative media you enjoy?


"History is crazier than fiction"

This year I read/listened to 30 nonfiction books in philosophy, History, and science. It's been extremely enjoyable and rewarding.

My best advice is to put down bad books after 20 or 30 pages.
