I love reading but don’t do it too often and am air void planet wise. I do have Libra IC, Aqua NN and Gemini psyche. Does this count? I also have Virgo mercury and agree anything mercurial tends to enjoy reading/writing/speaking. I love going to libraries/book stores even if I don’t get a book or read that often.

From my experience, those with heavy Virgo placements are usually bookish types. Air signs like Gemini can be as well, but even with a lack of air, Virgo placements especially in Mercury and Mars are prone to be avid readers. Plus, it's a sign that is co-ruled by Mercury.

Then came my teens and I stoped reading as I embraced the web as my direct source of information and my reading ability droped.

Now as an adult I've embraced reading books again because its still a good form of retaining/obtaining information.

We've entered an age were everyone thinks there an expert and using the web as a primary source of information has started to be cloudy and questionable.

At least with books there's still some kind of level of legitimacy on the information.

I will admit I'm somewhat of a cheater thought.

I will first read 50-100 pages then download the .pdf version of the book, set the .pdf to "read aloud" which will have the computer read back the same pages that I just read then repeat the process until I've reached the end of the book.

That way I can get the information both visually after reading it and in memory by having someone read to me.

I can get through a 300-400pg college level science textbook in 1 - 1/2 months by doing this and still be able to retain all the information.
