have you tried an e-reader? I prefer physical books but maybe you prefer e-readers. Advantage of those, is that you can set the font really big if you have trouble focusing.

actually, there are more than books in a library (in the Netherlands at least). Here you can also get internet access for a limited time, access to magazines/papers and also multiple courses are given e.g. language courses are given to people who don't speak the language very well but also computer courses for older people. And I don't know if it's common, but in my town there is also a history organization which does research into the history of our area. And in university libraries you can also get access to academical papers.

No brains required to read books, same time waster as video games or movies but movies and games are more exciting . I notice everyone says the book is better then the movie because 99% of people that read books read the book before the movie so kind of conditions their brain. Some people say source is the best version of CS. How dumb is that?
