I'm one of those that like to read, but I pretty much only read for pleasure, not to gain knowledge. I used to read a whole lot more than i do now, but got priced out of pleasure reading. I loved paperback books. Sci-fi, Fantasy, alt reality, lots of types so long as it was not a biography or a tell me how it was or how to do it book. I do look and use google to find information when I need it, or to verify statements from others, most of the time when it comes to statements there are equally justified counter statements, so pretty much a waste of time. I think most of the mimicking of others comes about because they just simply can not think for themselves, so they take the words others have written and reorganize them and call it original, simply spinning the same story. They have the book smarts, but not the piratical smarts.

Have you tried the kindle type things? >most of the time when it comes to statements there are equally justified counter statements, so pretty much a waste of time. There seems to be no consensus on anything at all these days - even the shape of the earth >I think most of the mimicking of others comes about because they just simply can not think for themselves, so they take the words others have written and reorganize them and call it original, simply spinning the same story. Yep and the more people don't think, the less they can. I also think there is another factor involved where people fear being wrong, so relying on the information of others rather than thinking for themselves, gives them someone to blame.

Yes I am actually on my second kindle, but the number of free books being offered two years ago decreased, and I haven't looked lately. I did buy several books after reading the authors first book mostly the independent authors and self publishers. then I started getting pretty interested in Steem, so my book reading time took a hit. But I did find and got to read a lot of good stories for free or very cheaply.

I think the self-publishing option is a great thing but also wonder how much crap creates noise in the system. I think for me to start reading again, I will need to get some kind of Kindle, otherwise it isn't accessible enough. I have very little time to myself at home, so it would be an "on the road" kind of thing. I have read a massive amount over the last 4 years - not one book. =)
