I often read books my friends aren't reading, I guess because there's too many books in the world, also I never got on with book clubs, because I had to read on someone else's schedule, which seemed to remove my motivation.
Perhaps I will try this, did you need to upload the book or use one that had been out a certain amount of time?
I have always experience reading as a conversation with the author. Thus, I have copious index cards with quotes, questions, and thoughts from every book I read, and often revisit those cards. . But, rarely am I able to engage with someone who is an insatiably a reader as I am. Your conversation with Claude not only extends understanding, but provides what many of us miss, that is, a person who is as keen a reader as we are, and who wants dialogue on what a specific nonfiction book offers. Your ending question , "Have you ever finished a book and wished you could discuss it with someone right away? Now you can" is a longing I perpetually feel. And as you say - Now we can! Fabulous, it's just fabulous.
Thank you, Wendy, for your comment. I can't see myself reading any other way from now on. Finishing a book will be the first step. The most exciting part will come after I get a chance to engage with AI and process what I've read.
Yes, it is the most exciting part! I tend to read a book with pen,and index card in hand to make notes. The wonderful think is that AI can create from that inot a printed version to input.

I feel the same about book clubs. I even wrote about it in my initial draft, but then deleted that section.
I only uploaded my notes to make the discussion more relevant to what I found interesting in the book.
Yeah it’s interesting, I have never got into a serious discussion with an AI, I haven’t used them to their full potential
That's the most valuable part of AI. I'd also recommend reading Michael Simmons's article about how AI is going to be used in the workplace in the future. https://blockbuster.thoughtleader.school/p/cognitive-multiplier-smart-knowledge
Thanks, I will take a read
Great post Alina. I love the distinction between leisure and work being just context and money. That feels really meaningful.
Also, I resonate with your approach to go BEYOND what's in the book. AI is fundamentally changing how I learn.
Same! I feel like my world is expanding as a result of this new way of learning.
