I have to confess that I'm a non-reader because I've never enjoyed reading any books ever since I was in primary school. I can appreciate that reading books, like watching Russell Crowe, is a short burst, but too many patches are a big no for me. Movies are my preferred medium for stories, darling, and it's an attempt to learn history in a more engaging way.
