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.
Reddit is a good social and informative source for me. Books are my life and require total immersed enjoyment. Reddit can occupy half of my day if it is a fascinating topic. I generally can go through 2 or 3 300- 400 pp Books using total concentration that means no TV , Reddit or any other distraction. Above mentioned means number of Books per day I can read. Apologies , my cell seems to be capitalizing words randomly. When reading , I try to picture a continuous story.
