You read fast. You seem to enjoy ancient Greek writers a lot. Is there a certain reason?

I try make time for reading everyday , and on the week-ends upward to 7-8 hours a day. Can plow through a lot of books doing this .
yeah.. your volume of reading is impressive. Do u buy most of the books, or are you borrowing 'em, and/or checking them out from a library (?)
Only buy the odd few new ones these days.
Where do you guys get your books from mostly ?
My book collection is somewhat small and focused on a few subject areas. A fair bit of it I haven't read. It goes back about 20 years when I was in college the first time. Now when I get a new book it's usually from Amazon.com.thanks man haha . I get all the classics, philosophy books from the second hand book store in my city , the rest are mostly from the library . Only buy the odd few new ones these days.

Some library check-outs, but I mostly buy online (eBay & Barnes and Noble's site). For many years, I was moving around.. having to keep my book collection light and/or just tossing/losing them with each move. But about 10 years ago I got financially stable, bought a house with extra square footage, and now have a good sized home library.
Being poor sucked, for many obvious reasons.. but also for the sake of collecting books.
nice! Do you have it set up so you can read in your library, too?..
Self-help book, written for approaching recurring anger & anxiety. Female therapist, writing like she's Henry Rollins.. with different kinds of cultural slang(s) & cussing throughout. Brief chapters, designed for quick, practical reference. Ok so far (I'm about halfway thru). My first takeaway is that she believes the role of general trauma is underestimated in mental illness development.
recommend ?
