## Source excerpt

Books were the internet for me before the real one became accessible. Authors wrote a thing and I've read it, consuming the information behind the text. First, I've read each book we had at home. Then everything meaningful from a kids' section of the local library. And then I've been introduced into the serious stuff. I think The Hobbit was the beginning. Then The Three Musketeers, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes... There were no recommendation engines of course so I went through everything, itching to consume experiences left behind by humanity. Sounds like an addiction, right? Well, it kinda was. Nowadays we have different drugs -- news, movies, TV series, games. There is no time for books. Kids certainly don't give a damn about them either. Anyways, we are talking about me, right?
