Name: violinist, Matt
Location: Colorado
Age: mid-20s
Current preoccupation: fitness - I'm losing weight, training for my 2nd ever half-marathon, and trying to rock climb better
Previous preoccupations: fountain pens, games (computer & board), playing violin, mathematics, cryptography
I'm currently reading "The Idea of America" by Gordon Wood - trying to lose myself in a book again, as too often I default to digital inputs, but I overall am happier when reading books is a part of my life.
Hey Matt
There's a few long-time hubskiers living in Colorado. I so agree with you about books. I go long periods of time skimming, but not investing my thoughts and time and feelings in a book. I'm generally happier when I have a book on the go.
Back in the hubski-day, flagamuffin OftenBen galen and others regularly ran a #quotesporn regarding quotes from the books we were currently reading.
I hope to pick that up again, but first I have to recover from the overwhelming response to the "who's left" thread still growing here.
