Yes. At least "happier" than most other things in my life.

I like to bask in various artforms and how they have changed throughout the years.

I just need to know that's why I read

I don't generally find material possessions fulfilling so the closest I can get to happiness is the exchange of ideas because I'm not really concerned with happiness but am happy to entertain the thoughts and theories of other people.

I read whatever sounds interesting to experience and learn from it.

I honestly dont get people who read stuff just to say they have, its not a competition.

I read to impress myself. Honestly.

i'm sadly growing into someone who does that, reads to impress. i'm doing my best to learn to love reading again. i just need to stop reading shit other than the russians i think.
