Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?

I don’t dog-ear, but I do underline & write notes, and I love videos about how people engage with their books.
I love Terry Gross she is a top ten person

It's a basic fact that you can spend £9.99 on a good book that could last you a few weeks (if you pace yourself).

It's also fairly cheap way to keep your brain healthy.
