Reading?
Reading doesn’t seem to come so naturally to me anymore. I have Black Powder War in front of me on the desk for the past few weeks, after starting it and then stopping after just a few chapters. Meant to continue a few days ago, read one more chapter and then left it again. Until recently it was intentional, had just a couple of books I could still read and wanted to make them last. But since I now have a few more I actually mean to read but it’s like I just never think of it.
When I do read a little I get so excited that I can hardly focus on what I’m actually reading. But then I put it down after a chapter or two and forget all about it, even if it’s right in front of me. It’s like my brain doesn’t consider reading as a potential activity anymore. I’d sometimes be bored out of my wits, have the book within reach and it just doesn’t cross my mind that I could pick it up and read. Went too long without a decent supply of books I think.
