A book contains a world to discover, whatever genre we like, whether novels, stories, technical books, or self-help books. Whatever the subject, opening and starting to read a book we like will always be a path to follow and enjoy.
I don't think I've read as many books in my life as other people, but I've read quite a few. When I was young and in school, and later on, I couldn't afford to buy books, but I would go to the library and request whatever book I wanted. In fact, I got all the books I used when I was studying there.
When I started to be able to buy books, I did so at a place that sold used books. There was no excuse; if someone liked to read, there was a place to get books, even if they didn't have the resources.
I remember years ago I wanted a book, and in Argentina, imports were closed, so it was impossible to get it. No matter how hard I looked, there was no way. So, I read it online. I found a way to read it because I was very interested in it.
I have read all kinds of books, many of them historical, legal, technical, and much more when I was studying law and then computer science, books on programs. At that time, there was no AI, thank goodness.

But when audiobooks came out, I tried to use that system and couldn't. For some reason, I have to read. I have a very visual memory; it's always been that way, even when I was studying. I learned and memorized what I read, but not so much what I heard. I had to read it. So, if I had to choose, I prefer books, even if I have to read them on the computer because there is no other alternative.
I must also confess that when I try to listen to an audiobook, I fall asleep. I can't handle it.
If I think about what I like to read, I have to say that my tastes have changed over time. I've always liked suspense, intrigue, action, crime, mysteries to be solved, stories with unexpected twists, books with details that make you imagine the circumstances in great detail. I also like science fiction books, but with hidden messages. I have varied tastes.
I like poetry books and those with deep content, the ones that make you think, question things, and for some years now, in my quest to improve and discover things about myself, I love to read books that tend to do that. They are not self-help books, but rather books about self-exploration, emotions, managing them, and even books... we could call them ethereal, that deal with unusual topics. I think they are books as rare as I am.
For example, there is a book that I loved reading called The Divine Matrix, written by Gregg Braden. One of my favorite books is called The Double and How It Works by quantum scientist Jean Pierre Garnier Malet. That book changed my life, I always say that, and that author has more books, many of which are interesting and difficult to understand, talking about quantum physics and Greek terminology.
I don't read what most people read, I know that, I'm aware of it, but what I read fascinates me, I learn and improve inside, and that manifests itself on the outside. I apply it to my life and the results are spectacular.
Books contain a universe within them, and opening them up leads to wonderful things, at least that's how it is for me. This is the topic I chose from among the weekend topics proposed by @galenkp. Thank you for that.
Thank you all very much for joining me today. Have a great weekend. See you soon.
