I remember reading about 8+ hours every single day for my entire vacation a year and a half ago. I loved it. Now, I find it difficult to read more than 20 pages (fiction or non-fiction). I’ve started to read more philosophy and psychology lately as well. That hasn’t really helped with the enjoyment factor of reading.
At this point, I read more out of interest and the will to learn than enjoyment, but I’d like to enjoy reading like I did in the past. Factors that are involved in the issue are my slow reading pace and less free time (about 4 hours daily).
I was just wondering if any of you have had the same issue and how you’ve been able to deal with it or get rid of it completely. I would like to hear other people’s thoughts on the matter since it has been feeling like I’m falling out of love with literature, which I really do not like.
I think turning reading into a “Task” takes all the joy out of it.
Find a book you like and just go with flow for whatever time you have with it. If you like it enough, you’ll probably find more time to read than what you think you have.
