What is your relationship with books?

I listened to the biography of elijah Muhammad and fell asleep prolly 10 times on it lol. Bought the book years later and got through it in 2 days

Halo was supposedly in medical school if I recall correctly and the board said prove it by posting his books, and everyone is still waiting.
By now he should be in his first or 2nd year of residency lol
What I've noticed is I'll have to do is buy a physical book. Because if it's my tablet or any digital device, I'm everywhere but reading.
During the warm season, I read how to books or pdf's on the net. But when its winter and the sun goes down at 430pm, I dig into sum books and spend my winter feeding my brain.. Heres the sad part, I know many of kats that havent picked up a book since high school! So all the information they get is from the tel lie vision!! Its no wonder, I get the fluoride stare when I bring up certain topics!! Trust me, Ive tried almost everything to get them to read, even downloaded audio books just to get them interested.. After awhile I just give up on them and move on!! But I have figured out how the corporation is able to pull off anything and no one even think twice!! Anyway, read, read, read and if you have kids, cousins, grandkids or other family members get them to get into reading!! They had laws on top of laws to keep copper color people from reading, they know the truth is between the lines and they didnt want us to figure it out!! Read, read, read,, Brotha's!!!
I have the patience, however, this criminal enterprise does not allow me much of the time...hence to your point, I read things that will help me build an efficient path to monetary gain.
When it goes dark...what do we do? I am with you on the space saving, however, I need have it in my possession for when it goes dark and it will.
Asé, asé, asé, Amun!
I keep an old tablet strictly for Kindle, it only goes on the internet to buy more books.
Read before bed it's like melatonin and if I have time in the morning I do the same.
I retain none of the information but I'm hoping Limitless pills become a thing and I become the smartest BGOLer alive!

Fam, whenever you purchase from an African press, invest. Whenever you steal from a European press, as you were.
Listen, they are very valuable accessories for interior decorating. I'm an earth sign...I gotta touch.
This...right...here. It is a bit of ego, however, when that mofo get into 300, 400, 500 pages...I WANT to telegraph how I get down so the other person does not waste THEIR time...with me.
Use this framework. View BGOL as a tool. For a portion of us, it is fast food browsing. For others like myself, my Black Liberation journey started here, right amongst ass and titties. If it was not for BGOL, I would be an assimilant versus a militant of global white insecurity.
Audiobooks is set to be a $30 billion industry by 2030. For reference, it's to end "this" year at $5.9. One word: opportunity.
This right here.
I started buying small pocket size versions of books like the Art of War to keep so that they are portable. Thrift stores have landed me some good books to read. I haven't started reading them yet but they are here. I especially want to crack open my SAS Survival Handbook still wrapped in plastic.
Yeah I have alot of books and promised myself that I would start back reading more now that I have more time on my hands....
I usually buy books when I hear someone I respect recommend a certain book or on a subject that I am trying to learn more about....80% of my books that I have now are mostly on black history and culture....I've been buying more books around finances and understanding the stock market..
I also like to give books away to people that I am cool with that may not be very knowledgeable in a particular subject matter...

My relationship is a life long love affair, something that started early in my life as a kid with 2 of his own sets of encyclopedias my parents bought for me and I constantly read.
Reading, lifting weights, playing sports, writing, and chasing women are things that stayed constant throughout my life when other things came and went.
Making time for reading has become more challenging while having young kids under 3, running a business and having limited time to spend with my wife but I prioritize time blocking some time to read early in the morning before journaling....late at night before bed and in spaces where I have idle time ( waiting in the doctors office, Travelling by plane or train, at dealership getting car serviced etc.)
I spend too much damn time looking at screens so I don't do Kindle, E-books etc. Much prefer to have a physical book where I can dog ear, highlight, take notes, store in my personal library on my shelves etc.
My collection is Mainly Black history, African history, General history, Finances, business, economics, Personal development, Anthropology.
Currently reading "Stolen Focus" by Johan Hari, "The Grift" and "Built to Sell" by John Warrilow... Haven't read too much Fiction in recent years but I'm making an effort to include more especially at night time to calm the mind and foster more creativity. Recently finished "Nigeria Jones" by Ibi Zaboi and "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia butler.
My kids are under 3 but they have a decent little library going for themselves and my wife and i have already instilled a habit of reading to them and it looks like they have an interest in learning and seeking knowledge through books...also strengthening their vocabulary

I heard you can get AIDS by touching books, so I aint read since like '85.

You ain’t never lied about that SAS book. That should be on everyone’s book shelf.
I have a SAS book and a Boy Scouts book. Just good to have in case some shit goes down.
A lot of useful information in those books
I’ve always loved reading. Just finished:
1. Robert E. Lee & Me
2. Whiteness of Wealth
Currently reading:
1. Brief
2. Grant
3. The Deficit Myth
Next on the list:
1. 100 Year Marathon (China’s Strategy)
2. Same as Ever
3. The Kidnapping Club
I try to read at least a hour everyday. So many books, with a finite amount of time.
