I've been finding it difficult to get back into reading books (Hacker News and X are difficult for me to deprioritise)....
...but this year I set myself the goal of reading 10 books. One of the things that has really helped, is giving myself permission to quit a book if I am not enjoying it after the first 50 pages, or if it's too much of a struggle.
Also having 2 books on the go at the same time has been helpful too.
I am currnetly reading:
+ The Eloquence of the Sardine - Bill Francis
+ What about you doing with your life - J. Krishnmurti (recommended by Naval)
I am enjoying the first, learning lots of interesting facts about fish and the ocean but the second is quite slow and difficult and I might give up soon.
