there are a lot of books that seem really interesting to read, but man i really am just not a reader. i tried to get into house of leaves most recently and only got a little bit into it... i only read it while my pizza was cooking half a dozen times.

i used to read a LOT when i was a kid too. i was an avid reader. i had read the entire harry potter series before i was 12 and now i can't fathom reading that much. i don't know, i can't help thinking while I'm reading that there are a lot more fun or productive things i could be doing.

the last time i seriously sat down and read a book was the hunger games, back in like 2012. i read it in two days because i got hooked. everything else though, i'll end up thinking "oh man this story premise is really cool!" and then only get a few chapters in before i forget about it.

@beardalaxy You listen to audiobooks? I find they're a very good way to get into reading, especially if you can listen at work or while doing chores. Personally I've always been a big reader though so I wouldn't know if it'd help you. I'm certain I've put way more time into reading than games for instance.

@kvit i've considered audio books but i wouldn't be able to pay attention to it if i'm doing something else. i'm horrible at multi-tasking. i've always got stuff like streams on in the background but i don't pay a whole heck of a lot of attention to them for the most part.
