Susan Sontag, in her book On Photography
In the context of travel, documentation takes the form of photography. In our downtime outside of work, documentation urges us to track our sleep, diet, exercise routine and mood. We turned life-enriching habits into another form of work out of the guilt of not working, which certainly applies to reading.
Sometimes, reading a few life-changing books really, really well is enough for living an enriched life, and there’s always space to read more without the burden of hitting a goal.
