This month, I decided to turn pro as a writer. And inevitably, only a few days later, I realized that if I had to turn pro as a writer, I also had to turn pro as a reader. After all, there’s no writing if there’s no reading. And I started thinking about all the facets of reading and how to optimize them. One study from the National Library of Medicine even showed a 20% reduction in mortality for those who read books, compared to those who did not.
