(This essay was prompted by Richard Hanania’s “The Case Against Most Books,” his Substack essay about why you would be better off ignoring most books. I think Hanania is spot on, but misses an entire category of reading, the book only you can read. Also, I have been publishing less often than I wish, and for a range of reasons. Beyond my children, and then my wife and I coming down with non-polio enteroviruses, I learned that you can farm Microsoft Reward points and use them to earn one-month of free access to its PC Game Pass. And that you can write automation scripts to farm those points every day, and earn free months at a rate of 1 month every 18-19 days. )
