i have been trying to get back into reading for a while, i used to do it nonstop in middle/high school but fell off after i graduated. i picked up Thursday Murder Club randomly at a bookstore a few weeks ago and finally sat to read it this week and it’s really doing it for me right now. i don’t have much time to read anymore with college and work but i think this will be the first book i have finished since i graduated high school 😅 so, i’m curious. what books randomly re-sparked your love for reading?
I just got back into reading this year after only really reading books for my degree. I knew I wanted to focus on getting through the literary canon, so I started with Moby Dick and Pride & Prejudice. While Pride & Prejudice is easier and shorter, I had a hard time getting through it due to disinterest. Moby Dick I enjoyed a lot more, I still think about it on a regular basis and it’s helped inform my taste going forward.
Going back to college is part of why I stepped away from my voracious consumption of literature. I finally got into my major though and it became better because I was actually interested in what I was reading.
