Need help learning how to read books again - Lemmy

I used to be an avid reader, but years of high school and depression completely ruined that. I haven’t been able to complete a novel since senior year six years ago. It’s frustrating to me and I want to know how I can overcome my lack of focus and anxiety. I’ve heard I’m not alone when it comes to this sort of thing at least.

if you're at least not opposed to the idea, an e-ink reader worked wonders for me. picked up a kindle on a whim despite not having read a book in so long. managed to get back into the habit due to that. my favorite device now, hands down.

also when i get stuck on a long book, i just take a break from it and switch to a shorter book.
