Aside from literature, which I love, I have found that I have quite a fondness for owning textbooks, both physical and digital. (Reading them is a whole different story, though)
I have a textbook for Non-Classical Logic, Rock-Forming-Minerals, both of which I don’t even begin to comprehend as I lack the fundamentals, General Physics, General Maths, Zoology, Lichen, Insect Morphology (didn’t even know about that one anymore), Invertebrates excluding insects, Freshwater Biology, a bunch of species identification keys, Inductive Statistics, etc. etc.
Some of those I obviously need for university, but most are stuff I just found for free somewhere and took or downloaded with the intention of learning something.
I always have this scenario in mind of society collapsing, but it won’t be a problem for me because I have a lot of things to learn. Does anyone here have a similar “condition”? Haha
I love old grade school/middle school Language Arts textbooks for ‘writing’. When I’m feeling lazy or uninspired and want to force myself to get a few pages of anything down, I flip one open randomly and do a little kid writing assignment
