Books on tape!

Books on tape! Books on tape! er or um audio books, I guess. Dang I sound old (but I am old. so i don't care) anyways you can get all kinds of great non-fiction books to listen to at your library or you can do torrents like a criminal (of course you would only get books in the public domain then) Anyways. Listening to books is a great way to broaden your mind.
Libraries are incredible, you can get the book right on your phone and don't even have to go in to pick it up.

Try to avoid the Amazon service "audible" because they will lock you in and when you decide you don't want to give any more money to amazon it will be a pain to get away from them.
Possibly speaking from experience.
Buy physical copies of the books you enjoy so you can take notes in them and get them signed by your favorite authors. And it's great to have for reference.
I read much faster than any audio book can talk ... so I think I get more from the audio since it slows me down.

@futurebird@sauropods.win My friends started what we're calling a "circular book club" where we each read whatever book we want, take notes in the margins, then pass it on to the next friend who wants to read it, who also takes notes. We're still on our first books, but expect it will be fun to read our friend's thoughts alongside the author's words. Book goes back to first reader at the end of the circle.

@futurebird Side note: librivox has free audio of public domain books.

@smh @futurebird when I was overseas and absolutely dirt poor, a bunch of likeminded volunteers had a library in the nearest city that did exactly this. The conversations in the margins of The Snow Leopard made it an utterly transformative read—one that otherwise would’ve been very solitary. Strong recommend.
