I bought most of them during my stay in Europe, which explains the many French- and German-language books.

I have to reveal a little secret: I suffer from a phobia of running out of books on the road. A terrible state of affairs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Und ja, ich lese die B\u00fccher und Comics tats\u00e4chlich auf gedrucktem Papier und nehme die M\u00fche auf mich, mit mehr als 20 Kilogramm extra Gep\u00e4ck unterwegs zu sein. Bei Comics ist es klar: diese Kunst ist besser gedruckt auf Papier zu genie\u00dfen. Und ein kleiner Nebenaspekt: ein franz\u00f6sischer Comic auf dem iPad kommt schon mal von Apple zensuriert daher. Da fehlt schon gern ein Bild, weil darin ein blanker Busen zu sehen war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bei B\u00fcchern wiederum habe ich f\u00fcr mich gemerkt, dass ich mir mehr vom Text merke, wenn ich ihn auf Papier lese und nicht digital. Es gibt einige Studien dazu, die das teilweise best\u00e4tigen. B\u00fccher f\u00fcr mich sind auch Einrichtungs- und Arbeitsgegenst\u00e4nde. Ich liebe es, meine Bibliothek zu betrachten und von meinen B\u00fcchern umgeben zu sein. Es hat etwas Beruhigendes und Inspirierendes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an author and <a href=\"https:\/\/technophilosoph.com\/en\/2017\/11\/21\/i-am-a-coffee-house-writer\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2806\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coffee house writer<\/a>, I have to read at least as much as I write. Just as musicians go to many concerts, painters go to museums and galleries, actors see many films and video game programmers play video games. You learn from your peers and get your inspiration. I have already described my annual workload several times, including for <a href=\"https:\/\/globalmelange.com\/en\/2020\/01\/01\/my-pile-of-books-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2019<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/globalmelange.com\/en\/2020\/12\/30\/2020-my-year-of-books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2020<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/globalmelange.com\/en\/2022\/01\/04\/2021-my-year-in-books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2021<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/technophilosoph.com\/en\/2022\/12\/28\/my-year-of-reading-non-fiction-by-female-authors\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6898\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022<\/a> here. In this respect, the reading workload shown here is the average to be achieved over the year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Je mehr man liest, desto besser und rascher kann man es auch. Die Lesegeschwindigkeit erh\u00f6ht sich automatisch, man hat eben einfach mehr \u00dcbung. Und solch ein Lesepensum beeinflusst auch <a href=\"https:\/\/globalmelange.com\/2018\/08\/08\/wie-ich-bucher-schreibe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wie ich B\u00fccher schreibe<\/a>. Vor allem aus den Sachb\u00fcchern erhalte ich Daten und Fakten und viele Anreize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, I understand that some people are amazed at my consumption of written material, because in addition to the books and comics, there are of course lots of online posts and blogs that I use to keep myself up to date and informed. But how do I manage such a workload?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you read a lot, you also become a faster reader;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I always have a book with me when I&#8217;m out and about and read at every opportunity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I take the train or public transportation instead of renting a car, which allows me to read;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I avoid watching pointless Tik Tok or Instagram videos and wasting time on them;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I don&#8217;t watch TV (unless there&#8217;s a soccer championship);<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you keep up to date and consume information?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That was my reading load over the last three weeks while I was traveling in Europe.
