“The man who doesn’t read books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them” – Mark Twain Hey! What’s up? My name is Simon! I used to be a huge video game nerd (I used to play more than 6 hours a day on average!) Yeah, I know… it was that bad. It’s not something I’m particularly proud of, but I’ve…
