I don't only write #books. I read them too! A Lot! And though I #write Novels, #novels are not my first reading choices.
Oh don't get me wrong, I love reading a great story, #fiction or non, it's just that I am more of a How-To type of guy. I love those and own a couple of thousand myself.
In fact, my dive into Novel writing began when I purchased a book on How-To Write Novels for Angel. She's full of incredible stories, and also an avid reader, and I thought she should put them down.
She had a few books ahead of the one I bought her, and so one day I picked it up and began reading it myself.
I was captivated by the art of it and finished it that evening. The next day I began #writing Freestyle For Life.
When I look back now, I can remember how much I loved going to the library. I would spend hours, sitting with several books, and leaving with at least five.
No matter what I was into, I would study it, even if that thing I was into was just a phase. When I played Football, I read so many books on the game, how it began, and #biographies of different players.
When I boxed, I remember also geeking out on anything I could find about the sport. In fact, I finished the Life Of Jack Dempsey on the day that he died... That was weird.
I always wanted one of those motorized Go-Carts and found a couple of books that taught me how to build them from scratch. Man, I became a pro, too bad they were illegal to drive in the city where I lived, so I never actually built one.
#Bookstores were always another place I loved to spend time in, one of the many things my wife and I had in common.
We would go into a Barnes & Noble or a BAM, she'll head one way, I the other, and we'll meet at the checkout counter a couple of hours later. Yeah I know, booooring!!!
Nowadays, however, I've grown very accustomed to shopping for practically everything online. I was one of the first people I knew who started buying books on #amazon way back when they started, and now, it is the ONLY way I buy books.
I seemed to have lost the patience for Bookstores, and God knows how long it's been since I've been in a library.
And yes, I do see it going the way of the dinosaur, though I sort of hope it doesn't.
I believe libraries are going to turn into museums. People aren't going to go there to read books, they're going to go there to see where people went to read books.
So with that said, I'm curious. What are your thoughts about #libraries , and the current state of how we gain access to books?
Are you still down with the physical, or have you finally adapted to the #ebook? Let me know. ✍️🤓
