The trick is to read something that’s fictional and less dry. Fantasy would be an excellent choice. Sci Fi if you still enjoy things slightly more grounded in reality.

I dunno…distractions, too much commitment, feels indulgent,… ? Just got a book for my birthday and read the first 100 pages aloud in the car because my husband and son wanted to hear it. Now it’s been on my coffee table for two weeks and I’m struggling to pick it back up.

As a fellow reader, how do you identify others in the wild? I feel like my method sucks…

My method is very simple, just looking for people who sit and read in trains, cafés, etc., most people who do that tend to be people who like to read books.

Plus they love it when you pull off their headphones to ask what they’re reading.

I just talk about books I’ve read when relevant, or during the “whatve you been up to?” small talk.
