Subjects i'd choose in the library would be kinda at random, I'd walk around there and when I saw something - like pharao's of Egypte, I'd read everything they had on Egypte, all the dynasties, plus that I would search in other libraries just to see if they had other books on the subject.
All things science, astrophysics, quantummechanics, musictheory, psychology, stuff like that.
All the Roman and greek authors, Herodotus, Flavius, Xenophon, Plato, Schiller, philosofers through the ages.
Mechanical things, yes, you know, I used to be in a Motorcycle Club and I would destroy the thread just by changing sparkplugs, worst mechanic ever, no doubt about that.
I knew people that would wear out threads by taking the engine apart so many times, They could do it blindfolded, I'd ask them to theach me this or that about engines or transmissions, but the day after it would all be gone again, I just couldn't remember it.
That is how it works, I learn something and remember it for life, other things I could learn all over again every day and the next day it would be gone. I do not have a real choice in it.
