Sorry for the delay.
Long story short, I had a quarter life crisis and read the unabombers manifesto, at the time I got a shitty job in a town bordering a forest,
so I took a cheap room with questionable access to electricity.
Similar to your idea, I got few reems of printer paper, some ink and a pen. Had most of what I need offline,
became a shut in for 2 years roughly. Read and wrote a fuck ton in that time. The notes from that time are in India, so I can only share with you what I remember, would be interesting to read what I wrote from back then though.
- bindings fail when weather conditions change, rain and summer make lot of changes to water. Spiral binding sucks but string binding has its issues with big books as well.
- With paper there is no undo button, so you can find mistakes you repeat, which helps you find your own style and way of thinking. I like this.
- doing this made me smart , I thought deeply about first principles, but it also made me socially incompetent. Being able to talk to nomries took me few more months
I have since then stopped using paper to read, and only using it to write. But my reasons are to reduce the amount I need to carry. That is all.
