Is that how you are supposed to read paper books?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lol I read all three formats. I have shit ton of physical books in my home and I have a serious buying issue where always buying more books and read them. And thanks to my library I have a Libby account and so far read over 26 books just through my kindle alone. Lastly I listen to audiobooks anytime I behind the wheel commuting to work or just driving. I just love to read and also love to write.

Interesting diatribe that doesn't answer the question at all lol

They probably just misclicked and tried to reply directly to the post.

To answer your question:

Of course it is, how else are you supposed to save the information in your brain? Its not like paper can make use of video and sound waves to penetrate your nog, you have to use your eyes making physical contact with the paper.

I am sorry if that comes off as bold. I just realized if you don’t know this you must have never had the opportunities of a proper education, Its a shame really. I heard some places are so illiterate even the teachers know no better then placing books in front on their desk and then vocalize the words individually pretending that gives the same enlightenment as actually mind-reading them.

Edit: oh lol this post is 9months old and i didn't see the other joke comments. Sorry for that.

Clearly you don't read enough books... Like, bro, she's clearly absorbing the contents of the book through diffusion. If you don't know how to do this then you're clearly not in our league.

Obviously they are using osmosis via the ocular membrane... I was confused about why they needed a scarf. Reading that way uses a lot of energy and should generate copious amounts of heat via friction.

I read exclusively through diffusion. Two years on and I'm on page 22 of the first Harry Potter book.
