Why? Because sometimes you want to look up something random, but how can you look up what you don't know. If your brain is limited to the information it has been exposed to, the interests of your friends, or the web…you can never actually retrieve new information…seems obvious…I guess. Or completely ridiculous. Either way, I read encyclopedias.
Some topics I’ve found interesting:
- How to cut and cook different parts of a cow
- The History of Ballet
- Francis Bacon
- Baltimore, Maryland
And much more…
Another reason I read encyclopedias is to have broader idea of life. To discover other mindsets, civilizations, and ideas in order to see all sides to every situation in life. And secretly…to uncover something that no one else knows about…
So if you’re out there thinking you’re the only strange person reading encyclopedias, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
