Personal notes

• I don't have preference about books vs e-books, I love both formats for different things
  • Paper books look nice on the shelf
  • Kindle is magnitudes more lightweight than all the books it can store
• I read in English or in Polish
  • English strongly preferred even though I need more time and focus to read English books
  • Polish translations are sometimes of mixed quality
• I strongly prefer non-fiction over fiction
  • I no longer read as much fiction as used to in 2000s
• I prefer science-fiction over fantasy
  • I find fantasy and medieval stories generally boring
  • science fiction deals with aspects of reality that MAY happen someday in the future. It's a nice thought exercise
• I like biographies
• I like well-researched guides and essays
• with certain exceptions, I don't believe in books as medium for learning technical stuff
  • for certain areas technology moves too fast for books to stay relevant
