I burn through probably 5 to 7 a week with Kindle unlimited, old lady does a weekly library run and never picks up less than 6, usually pushes dozen or better. They have a 10 book limit and she's constantly using my card too.

Wife will sit in bed and read a book start to finish, turn out the lights, and be up the next morning reading a new one. She's more of a reader than I am, and I'm a book worm. When I was a kid, I rode my bicycle to the library and wasted the day away reading a good book. Learned to work on motorcycles reading. Learned my job and got promotions reading.
Reading is a powerful tool.

As interesting as I have always found you to be, this is makes you that much cooler. Wife does the Kindle Unlimited. I have a stack (ebooks) I have collected and I'm burning through and most of what I read isn't on the plan. When this thread popped up I checked my library and I was shocked to see so many motorcycle related books I've gone through.

Grew up in Baltimore MD in the 60's, high school I'd ditch, catch the greyhound to DC and hang out in the big national library if I wasn't prowling the museums. Think I was 12 or 13 one miserable rainy day when mom slapped a pulp 80 page sci-fi in my hands and wouldn't let me up till I read it, rest is history.
That's funny Dan. I ditched school to hang out in the halls and read. Nearly failed because I read the books but didn't do the reports. I don't know who got me into it though. Both my parents read but neither pushed in on me. Museums were also my home away from home. Sci-Fi is awesome. Isaac Asimov wrote some killer stories that stuck with me.

The Boozefighters MC were geographically and chronologically at the epicenter of what became the MC lifestyle and culture in the United States.
IMHO the Boozefighters MC were outside the law without being outlaws - perhaps they still are.
Reading though the collections of short stories, interviews and chronicals of the goins-ons in that book made me jealous not to have been born (or a young man) in that era. These guys cut their teeth in war ... as in World War II and didn't have anything to prove to anyone - except perhaps to themselves.
That culture has morphed over the decades and fractionalized into 1%-ers, RUBs, posers and everything in between - just go to Daytona or similar rallies and see for yourself. The infancy of the MC culture in the US was, in large part, war veterans who adored and adhered to camaraderie, loyalty and courage; those attributes, IMHO, became the core foundation of many early day MCs. They also liked motorcycles, beer and good times.
