Yes.
In fact, I'm more of a reader than a video gamer. And the video games I tend to gravitate toward are those that more story heavy (like adventures and RPGs).
I currently have multiple books on the go, all of them re-reads: Dracula and American Psycho (which I tend to read as a pair as both deal with dark comedy elements and are written similarly). And I'm also reading Asimov's series as part of a group-read thing, although, this has been off and on for some time. I recently finished a re-read of the Witcher books. The next major thing I'm going to tackle is a re-read of the History of Middle Earth by JRR Tolkien (again, a re-read, but the last time I read this was around 99/00) - the History of Middle Earth contains a stitching of early drafts of Lord of the Rings, but is mainly about the earlier editions of the Silmarillion, and the development of Tolkien's universe across decades. I also plan on doing The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings (while I appreciate The Hobbit, in the past 15+ years, I have only read it aloud as someone else's bedtime story). The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion are books I've read relatively recently, but it's not odd for me to re-read them every 2-3 years.
Other books I plan on reading soon that I haven't read before, The Accumulation of Capital (Rosa Luxemburg) - which I tried reading earlier but gave up because it sounded stylistically and content-wise like Capital by Marx and I figured it might be better to move onto Keynes to get into a more updated approach to economics of that time period rather than a rehash of ideas. I've also cracked into Ringworld for the first time (a few weeks ago) but put it aside until I'm ready to read it. One I've been considering since around the middle of the summer is a fantasy series called Malazan Book of the Fallen, a fantasy series by author Steven Erikson.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
