Does Magnus reads any books now days?

Or its just all computer?

Heard he likes Swank

So? What's that has to do with my thread?

"Swank" is a pornographic magazine.

.... I've heard.  

I don't know if Magnus uses printed, bound material as part of his chess preparation.

Please 🔞 let's discuss an actual topic here

All computer. He might occasionally read books like the My Great Predecessors or Grandmaster Repertoire series, more out of general interest and to get ideas rather than training. Keep in mind also they would be more "light-reading" for him and not a big deal.  

"Obviously I read chess books – in terms of favourites, Kasparov's My Great Predecessors' is pretty good."  Magnus Carlsen interview in the Guardian.

"I was reading Genna Sosonko's book, The World Champions I Knew. I liked his article on Tal. My impression was that during tournaments Tal liked to read all the time, ... But especially the reading part I think is a very healthy thing to do during tournaments." - Magnus Carlsen interview in New in Chess

In one of the movies about him, I think his father said as soon as a chess book or magazine would arrive, Magnus would read it right away.
