i read news all day, and i write code and documentation for a living.
i don't consider myself a reader, but in reality i read all the time.
books are not a far leap but i don't consider it a valuable use of time.
if i need to learn a subject, there's 10,000 youtube videos i can immediately skip through for free.
if i want to learn the most current information, i watch conference speeches/talks on youtube for free.
even the exclusive expert opinions usually found in books are more-often found in youtube interviews.
ultimately i see books as unnecessarily slow/outdated and narrow-sighted.
the only exception is creative writing/fiction, and i've never had an interest in it. real life is more interesting than a contrived story
