RE: WHAT'S IN MY LIBRARY CHALLENGE

in #library7 years ago (edited)

Such wonderful writing, Christopher! I really do love how you express yourself through words. BTW, today is World Book Day and #WorldBookDay is trending on twitter.

I struggled to read when I was really young. They tried to label me "Learning Disabled" or something silly like that. The truth of the matter was I just wasn't interested in Sally, Dick and Jane, when I had a forest behind my house where I could really get out and explore.

Later on I dropped out the first month of my 11th grade, took the GED and passed it without even preparing and started going to college earlier. There the literary world of especially non fiction opened up to me and exploded my interest. I started off studying Psychology, which quickly spread in all sorts of directions. I literally devoured every book I could find on many subjects in the libraries of 3 nearby universities. That was nearly 40 years ago and I'm still super curious.

Now I have a digital library of several million files, which include probably somewhere around 700,000 to a million ebooks. Not that I've read them all. LOL. The rest are instructional audio/video, documentaries, lectures, courses, etc. of everything that interests me, as well as over 400,000 music files and maybe 10,000 films and TV programming.

I am actually in the very preliminary phase of researching how to make this library available online in a Foundation, placing it on the blockchain and creating an ICO. Anyway, just posted again... Many Blessings
