GENERAL BOOK/READING THREAD sankara-salute

How do you find time to read lotsa books ? Anytips +input. I dont really wanna cut into my little game time and time for painting. But I also wanna read more books. Atm I have read 5 to 6 short 300-400 page books a year which is good if I compare it to the fact that I read 0 books in some years before.

I “think” I could up my yearly books to 7-8 but 10 would prolly feel like im pushing it (if we talk about 300-400page books on average)

Gimme your thoughts or praise (for being a good boi who reads books) I know its not theory just ficiton but I just really started to read again in the last 3 years so Im easing myself into it by reading 40k novels. Its chill and mostly simple I also read some Brandon Sanderson fantasy novels. I know not high art but you gotta start somewhere.

EDIT : Good thread. Thanks for everyone who participated

    I got a lot of free time on my hands being unemployed and gaming has reached a point of being work with the completionist mindset I play them with so breaking into reading more often has helped me. When your in public reading people leave you alone so that’s a plus (me being brown the police eyeball me all the time but seeing me reading they fuck off). That part may or may not apply but on some level I think people appreciate seeing someone read.

    Definitely read things your interest in and treat yourself to some slop, idk the more I read the easier it gets to keep reading.
