Hello, @acesontop,
I have read some, perhaps not as much as I should. But, I agree with you on how great reading is to expand the mind and know worlds that are usually veiled by circumstances. It is also an excellent way to travel back in time, by putting yourself in the shoes of the authors of the past, no matter if they are fiction or treatises in any branch of knowledge.
Now, one has at one's fingertips libraries that in my childhood were inaccessible. Although Rousseau discouraged reading because he considered it vain repetition, he bequeathed us excellent texts (an absurd contradiction on his part). So let each one live the experience and judge for himself.
Yes, I agree with you: devoting more time to reading is a good way to spend our energies.
Happy weekend.
As of tomorrow, I'm taking a commitment to reading half an hour a day, Monday to Friday.
Happy weekend!
