Enjoy your ankolyzing spondlytis.
You know those old meme pictures of hunched over acedmics? That's what happens if you bend your neck down all the time. Arthritis, permanently deformed posture.
The human body wasn't designed to be bent down to read for hours at a time. Do it for years on end, you'll pay the price. Book stands are godsends.
