I love to read but feel like I have to pretty much be in peak mental condition to fully appreciate a novel, which is pretty rarely. Meanwhile I will waste hours on reddit no matter how tired, sick, or sad I am. I wonder why because they’re both reading. Maybe because looking at reddit is more skimming? It does feel like the brain processes it differently. I wonder if other people here feel the same.

    I don’t really have trouble focusing on reading books or feel like it takes a particularly large exertion of effort. However, I certainly don’t feel like all acts of reading written words are exactly the same in terms of how my mind is processing info.
