<h2>Books.</h2>
</header>
<p>I have always loved books. The feel, the ideal, the smell. I am a minor bibliophile who buys and trades books. My philosophy on books are pretty simple:
<ol>
<li>Never lend a book. If you lend a book to somebody, just expect you will never get it back. #SaveAFriendship</li>
<li>A library is not a collection of books you have read, but a collection of knowledge you want. Either for reference, or for life goals, a library is never a trophy room.</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p>Unfortunately due to my schedule (I hate to word busy), I rarely have down time to sit down and read. Audiobooks are my only recourse while I am doing mindless work like driving. I maintain a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2HYGX5EGMFVPR?ref=jasimmonsv.com">book wishlist</a> and you can follow <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2784493-j-a?shelf=currently-reading&ref=jasimmonsv.com">what I am reading</a>.</p>
</section>

<section id="two">
<h2>My philosophy on Reading Books</h2>
<p>Books are part and parcel for an educated mind, regardless if it is self-directed, or formed by external factors (e.g., English Lit). I mostly read non-fiction just because there is a lot that I still want to learn. But reading fiction is just as important, as it has driven the human conversation for generations. Fiction has played just as big a role, if not bigger, in the evolution of human cultures through references to Romeo and Juliette, or to Machiavelli, or Sinclair’s The Jungle. I believe those people that forsake fiction for non-fiction are missing a huge chunk of knowledge that is just as vital.
</p>
<p>With that said, my strategy for choosing a book is very interesting:
<ol>
<li>Does it intrigue me in some way.</li>
<li>Is it something I wish to learn.</li>
<li>See #1.</li>
</p>
<p>If you have any good book recommendations, <a href="https://twitter.com/jasimmonsv?ref=jasimmonsv.com">tweet me @jasimmonsv</a>, and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/jasimmonsv?ref=jasimmonsv.com">check out my library</a>.</p>
