Usually in bed, or lying down somewhere under a blanket. Or, in a comfy chair.

I think the big thing with a feeling like this is to read something you feel like you’ll enjoy, and to be open to keeping a space in your life for reading again. Not saying you’re not, just saying that sometimes you do just need a break from reading, even if that break lasts years and there’s nothing wrong with just saying that reading isn’t something that you’ll enjoy at this point in your life. If you want to get back into reading, though, I usually encourage people to try and read at least 20 minutes a day at some point throughout the day. It just helps to build routine where you incorporate it back into your life and then you can kinda play with that time and the days you do it once you get back into the swing of things. Reading takes time and energy too, so be sure you’re reading something you’re enjoying! If you don’t like it, leave it.

Things that are edition specific may also be skipped depending on the audiobook you get!

I also think, on top of what other people mention here, is that social media (whether it’s true or not) has the societal belief of connection attached to it. When you go on Instagram and talk with friends, you’re connecting with those friends or with other people. Books are known for escaping whatever situation you’re in, and typically also take more attention than social media (which again, may be just more of a fake societal belief). That I think would play a role too.

I definitely highlight and write in and dog ear my books and I don’t really mind them in that state after.

Timothy Findley’s “The Wars”!

Maybe he should finish what he started and then move on to new material but whatever floats your boat 😂
