I know this sounds silly, but reading genuinely never captivates me. I am able to imagine things with my minds eye, but it requires that I just completely focus on picturing something and ignore the book while I do it. I think I just have a bad imagination or just a stupidly short attention span for anything that isn’t a creative endeavor.
When I read informational content (research papers, history, geography, etc) I can straight up read for hours because I end up learning something cool.
My wife can read books for hours, but I struggle to stay engaged. Fiction/fantasy especially is rough even if the topic is inherently interesting to me. Poetry and short stories are okay.
I mean I’m sure you could if you really want. Maybe try writing or some such. I would probably just read non fiction though. It’s an entirely field of interesting shit that you don’t need to have a creative bone to be fascinated by. Some people just can’t connect with a narrative story all that well but there is no any shame in that.
