As someone with both, it's either feast or famine, depending on how interesting my brain finds it.

I read nearly cover to cover the National Electric Code because I wanted to rewire my house and I found the standards fascinating.

I could not read through my AWS training materials because AWS is boring AF.

i love how it wasnt a catchy book, romance, or whatever that peaked your interest.

It was the National Electric Code.

The national electric fucking code.

this is autism in full effect.

- Someone who is reading "Excuse me, sir, would. you like to buy a kilo of isopropyl bromide?", the biography of a man who started a chemical company. I know, thrilling.

I don't know if I want to buy a kilo of isopropyl bromide mr chemical man, but I am interested, why should I?

Piqued your interest, FYI.

the misery of searching for stories that catch your interest, finding a rare nugget of gold, reading the entire fucking 400 chapters in a few days, and being unceremoniously dumped back into reality and faced with the ocean of absolute dogshit that people somehow find amazing.
