As a kid I loved picking a random book from the encyclopedia and flipping through it looking for something weird and interesting.

I love this. I have way too many books, and I am also the type of person to download Wikipedia

Oh you download wikipedia...that is cool😅

It's surprisingly not that big (less than 22GB without media.)

I really don’t need this in my life but I want this in my life.
