I used to be absorbed by books and magazines, reading for hours. Now I need to force myself to focus on reading and I get exhausted after 10-20 minutes of reading.

Because of that reading feels like a chore. A decade ago I used to easily read 50+ books a year and be constantly hungry for more, now I struggle to read a dozen.

I also don’t get almost any enjoyment from reading unless it’s something amazingly written.

    Don’t be ashamed to be picky! If you enjoy elegant prose and fast hooks (for example), seek that out. Try r/suggestmeabook and get some suggestions that are super tailored to what you know you love to read.

    You can branch out and take risks later, once your reading “bug” is back.
