Lyn, would you generally consider yourself a fast reader? I find it’s hard for me to get into reading more, in part because I am a rather slow reader. I might get through 1-3 books in a year, which isn’t very many books read in a lifetime if you think about it. Sometimes it will take me so long to read a book, by the time I’ve finished it, I’ve often forgotten key details from the beginning or middle, which also makes the reading a bit less enjoyable. Any tips? Cheers.

Moderately fast, yeah.
I don't have many tips other than that I go through cycles. There are years where I read zero fiction, and other years where I read 10+ long books. And I don't watch much television, and limited movies.
With Empire of Silence I listened to it on audiobook, often while walking outside in the sun or things like that.
Hi Lyn, making first baby steps in NOSTR. As a first post/reply: I have always been curious to know how you do research and where/how you keep your database of knowledge. Any software you can recommend for this?
I’m pretty analog about it. I’m good at collecting and filtering info; it’s one of my strengths among many other weaknesses. I focus on like a dozen specialists. An AI expert. An energy expert. A South American expert, etc. I keep track of what they say. And then I have various software tools like YCharts, FASTGraphs, to map out quantitative deals. The St Louis Fed “FRED” site is also great.
So WoT ... nice
So you keep track of all that information in your head, not in a database? That’s seriously impressive! I wanted to like your post, but it seems that either Nostr or this client doesn’t support it. Anyway, I really appreciate all you do for the community—not just sharing knowledge but also guiding people with a thoughtful approach. Respect!
