6. Why reading is important

In his interview with Shannon Sharpe, Williams stated that he read 3,000 books before he became a teenager, and he doubled down on the claim while noting that “reading books moves civilization.”

“When I said I read 3,000 books people were like, ‘yeah right.’ But you know, everything in life is about the environment,” he said.

“It was grown in the petri dish, so if I told you that from the time I was 8 to the time I was 12, I never celebrated any birthdays; I never went to a birthday party, I never had a Thanksgiving, a Christmas, I never trick-or-treated. I wasn't allowed to watch movies and I wasn't allowed to watch TV. All I could do was read. If I told you that, then you will understand that for eight hours a day, I got eight hours, and I can read and I love to read. So I'm reading books that are 200, 250 pages and it takes me about an hour to read one.”
