yeah, all the normies around me at school and such all hated books and libraries. these places were my retreat, and also quite poetic was my first major novel at the age of 9 was The Neverending Story, and i devoured books nonstop when i wasn't trying to learn to code or riding a skateboard, for the next 15 years after that.
if you were ever curious to learn more about Taoism, another book i bumped into during that time was The Tao of Pooh, which is a beautiful little examination of how the A.A. Milne books explained the principles of Taoism.
there was some amazing things in those libraries, too many for me to remember them all.
been too busy trying to get my shit together, and failing, in the time since then, to read much. aside from Human Action and LoTR. also i highly recommend reading at least the original Dune from Frank Herbert. that will also blow your mind with it's deep psychohistory backdrop.
