Anecdotes prove nothing.
I know a few writers and I know a few entrepreneurs. The writers read their whole lives. The entrepreneurs I know never read all that much. I know a businessman who will only read books if they're bestsellers. I've even met entrepreneurs who have never voluntarily read a book. As far as I can tell, the guys who devote time to reading will never do as well as the guys to devote time to making money.
- jward 19y agoYou're assuming people buy books to read them, not to display them and have them be status symbols.
- daniel-cussen 19y agoYou're right. However, I'm not sure Great Gatsby types really reap huge benefits from having libraries.
