I listen to countless audio-books, but don't find myself sitting down to read a physical book except for this strange tech-knowledge niche, where I can learn without it feeling like laptop-work-overtime because it's a physical book. Do you like any particular books in physical form?
The physical books I have are more like coffee table compendiums around a vast array of subjects that aren't intended to be read sequentially - I can just pick it up and start a random chapter and enjoy them for short sessions. Examples are The Disappearing Spoon, A Short History of Nearly Everything, The Violinist's Thumb, etc.
I'm glad you enjoyed "Pro Git" but that sounds like the kind of thing that I would use as a doctor to place a patient into a medically induced coma.

I laughed at this for the last 5 minutes straight.
I read it for the first time on PDF and it is so much more enjoyable in print format. The recent Stripe Press edition is particularly well-crafted. The physical format lets you more easily flip back and forth, underline key insights, and digest Munger's wisdom at your own pace.
I only want physical books. For me, book time is away-from-screen time. So: any book I may want to read?
For better or worse, I have never come close to actually reading an eBook in the way I experience print.
