All my life, within a chapter of text, I'm either falling asleep or lulling at
the cusp of it.

Moving my body or locations temporarily wards it off like a snooze button, but
the struggle also keeps me from losing myself in a novel. To this day, if you
fast-forwarded a video of me reading on my couch, I'd like look a fish
flopping out of water to stay awake until the next chapter.

My best solution so far has been to read more in the morning with my coffee
before I begin my work, which also happens to be a good time to read in
general: it's before the barrage.

I read a lot. I just happen to do most of my reading online.

I don't follow the notion that what we read online by default has less value
than what is available to us in books. I have learned a lot from what I've
read online, whether it's long form articles, Wikipedia articles, piecemeal
submissions that make up online forum/community sites or even IRC logs.

The mere fact that something is available in book form is not a guarantee of
it's accuracy nor a guarantee of the author's credibility.

I don't think the author is arguing that that books are more accurate or more
credible than other forms of writing. What the author is arguing is that books
provide a different sort of experience than those other forms of writing.
