    Don’t know why you’d get a downvote for personal preference. I would argue that a lot of the content I watch doesn’t have a suitable book form, so even if I did prefer that method of osmosis, I’d be out of luck.

    Got a recommendation for a book (or audiobook) for a nerd like me? I’d describe myself but the internet already knows too much so… Conservation and technology (new or ancient)

    Is that a fair ask?

      Yeah I don’t know about the down votes. I tried to be clear I was talking about a preference and personal experience, but I guess some people took offense.

      The last non fiction book I read that was really interesting was “The Ghost Map”. It’s about when people figured out Cholera. That’s kind of technology adjacent.

        That sounds great. I’m bad at reading (not bad at it. Just don’t do it lol) but I’ll put that in my audiobooks for long trips pile. It sounds very much up my alley.
