Ok. I’ve been stuck inside a lot this week. I’m getting through my paper book. Hopefully I finish it tomorrow. I often have trouble concentrating but I’m working to her persistent on this. I have two more books queued up so there’s a little pressure.
That's awesome! Reading for pleasure or work/school?
Reading for pleasure. To see if I still can. To work on concentration. To escape my own thoughts. To increase discipline and learn to ignore distractions
Nice, what book?
Getting back into reading has been one of the best things that happened to me. It is an amazing hobby once you get into just being able to just lay down and read for a few hours. It took a while but if you fprce yourself enough you will end up making a good habbit of it.
It's a book in the "Howl's Moving Castle" series called "the house of many ways". It's a kids novel so it goes fast. Seeing the read pages stack up is motivating.
Nice, I had an ex who said it was a nice read but I never got around to it. Love the movie tho so I should probably check it out
