Anecdote 2022-10
“I get sent tons of books from publishers a week before they're released to the public. I'm able to read books that nobody has read before.”
What it documents
Kojima gave his cultural consumption numbers for 2022: he watches around 400 movies a year, and by September 2022 he had counted 95 books read, most of them novels; he had bought over 160 books. He also said publishers send him tons of books a week before they are released, so he can read books that nobody has read before.
