With stories is different because the author takes you to the journey the reader decides to make when it starts reading the book.

    I read 2-3 chapters at a time and then start another book. I read 3-4 books simultaneously, and eventually get to the end chapters. I just need my university course to end so I can focus on ACTUALLY LEARNING.

    People here commenting on his looks and appearance. This man, along with a handful of other super innovators, has altered the course of human history through technology and has touched more people's lives in a positive way through his philanthropy and charity than most of us would set our eyes on in our lifetimes.

      The people who do these things don't focus their minds on petty things like appearance. It sounds supercillious, but Einstein had the same clothes for everyday of the week. So they must be doing something right.
