When someone suggested you read a certain book did you ever get around to doing so? Was it helpful?

Yes, I read a lot and so I'm always open to suggestions. I don't know if I can say they were helpful, but it stuff to read and it's enjoyable for me to step out of my box in that aspect.

Ok.

Did I read the suggested books? Usually, I know straight away whether it interests me. I check it out and if it seems worth the time, I either borrow it from the library or buy it. Most times, it turns out to be worth the reading.

Helpful? Varies. Sometimes it's fiction which is its own reward in the pleasure. It's self-help, polemics or some other non-fiction it's usually useful in some way, physically, emotionally or mentally.

How about you, Kittigate? How would you answer your question?

Occasionally someone has suggested I read a book usually with the idea might help me understand their point of view when opinions differ. I may have done so years ago when I did read a lot but in my old age and possible brain damage from years of heavy alcohol consumption I am not so able to concentrate or focus well trying to do a whole book. I do ok I think reading random articles then connecting the dots.

Yes, some I found interesting , others were really boring.

Hats off to you for honesty.

You have my deepest respect.

I come from a family of severe alcoholism so I have some idea of some of what you may have been through.

I suppose you've heard of brain plasticity?

Right.

Yeah.. I googled brain plasticity. Interesting.

Nope

Ok
