GENERAL BOOK/READING THREAD sankara-salute

How do you find time to read lotsa books ? Anytips +input. I dont really wanna cut into my little game time and time for painting. But I also wanna read more books. Atm I have read 5 to 6 short 300-400 page books a year which is good if I compare it to the fact that I read 0 books in some years before.

I “think” I could up my yearly books to 7-8 but 10 would prolly feel like im pushing it (if we talk about 300-400page books on average)

Gimme your thoughts or praise (for being a good boi who reads books) I know its not theory just ficiton but I just really started to read again in the last 3 years so Im easing myself into it by reading 40k novels. Its chill and mostly simple I also read some Brandon Sanderson fantasy novels. I know not high art but you gotta start somewhere.

EDIT : Good thread. Thanks for everyone who participated

    I play music on vinyl LP and read at night. I had too much ADHD that I couldn’t concentrate without audio stimulant (can’t sleep without white noise or ASMR podcast) but if I’m listening to on demand digital music like youtube or spotify, I ended up keep changing the music and get distracted by screens. Vinyl doesn’t let you skip songs/music, and listen to the album in order the way the artist intended. Then I would aim to finish a chapter or so of book material, within one LP (15 minutes~ish)
