Greetings from Greece Literate Texan. The best sign-off by the way.<br>What makes your videos so powerful is that you are sincere, caring for people. Nothing to sell. Thank you

as a middle to high school teacher, trying to get kids to read is almost impossible. They don't seem to care that they can't read and parents don't seem to be helping them either. These parents are poor readers themselves. But they all miss the point of reading and it's why I watch your videos. Keep up the good work.

Hey Randy, your channel has been very useful in helping me re-establish my reading habit. Any day I watch a video of yours I end up reading for over an hour. Thanks!

I really liked the part about mentors and finding them anywhere and anytime. You can pick from the greatest minds that have lived. What a treasure trove of knowledge

I’m a big believer in compound interest! And you’re right about our minds expanding!

Don’t forget to tell us what you think of the Cairo Trilogy. Naguib Mahfouz is my favorite writer, and I believe the Nobel Prize was honored by having Naguib Mahfouz receive it.

Hi Randy, just want to leave a comment for you. You’ve become one of my favourite youtubers over the last couple weeks, i’ll put your videos on like a podcast and listen to it while I’m working or driving. Your videos are really informative, easy to listen to and maybe even a bit addictive haha I’ve started reading a habit the last couple weeks, and I don’t know if it’s a real thing but my sleep has actually improved and I’ve been having some really vivid and intense dreams.m, I’m mostly reading fiction. I think it’s because of reading, I noticed I wasn’t dreaming that often anymore and ever since i start reading again, even just 30 pages a day.. I feel like i’m dreaming all night long! Anyways just commenting to say that i love your videos, you deserve 100’s of thousands of subscribers!

I read because I can only live one life, and I missed out on so much so far...<br><br> Good luck and best wishes on your journeys. <br><br>We read to grow and understand. Imagine reading someone's thoughts and assuming what they meant. Reading will lead you to have an open mind, and ask questions if you are troubled or confused.

This was a phenomenal video, Randy.<br>Sincere, straightforward & extremely helpful.<br>For me one of the most important perks of reading is the ability to walk in other people’s shoes. It has increased my compassion & ability to be kind.
