>>I'd much rather sit in the library and read books. Unlikely. Have you ever been seriously ill, and nothing that doctors seem to do is working?

From his perspective the priorities would have been, finding information or some lead or a job posting that can get him his next meal, a place to live, a long term solution to his problems. A book reading project? People can't focus on reading a news paper correctly when are tensed and anxious. Such things are for the time of peace.
