Thanks for the recs! I used to read more, but I was having some trouble finding books in the sweet spot of (informative, classic/acclaimed/other evidence of quality, actually relaxing to read). (As an example of a book that meets all three criteria, I loved Andrew Carnegie's autobiography. Informs me about America in the late 1800s, written by a self-made tycoon who changed philanthropy, helps me relax by putting present-day events in historical perspective.) In general, with books I spend more time (proportionally) hunting for new books that are worth reading.
I also enjoyed gaming more as a kid. I found it easier to suspend my disbelief when I was young, and my patience for grinding/clunky interfaces was higher. I've never played a game with microtransactions, seems dangerous!
