On reading (4 of 4): My current reading philosophy.

I love reading a huge dense classic book before bed, like the Decameron or the Divine Comedy or whatever.

At some point your mind shuts down and your eyes start to close automatically, so you get to sleep faster.

And, at some point you also finish it, so you also end up more educated, incidentally.

It's like night and day to read something modern; Mrs. Dalloway kept me up for a while the first time I read it, and I had to make myself put it down in order to try to get to sleep...

Also, on another note, I think like over 4 or 5 years ago, I read all of Don Quixote.

That was another fat classic book that I've read.
