I write for a living. I guess it's part of my job. Reading, understanding, and knowing how to synthesize information. But I also love to learn new things, especially philosophy and literature.
When I do an article, I document myself by reading books, but it also helps that I've been reading a lot for years. That is to say, the anecdotes I tell are part of what I have read in previous years.
