Does this get easier?

I'm pushing myself to get in the habit of reading everyday, it's a good idea, but some days I hate it. Interesting stories are easy and fun to read, but material of a dry or technical nature finds me looking for a diversion before I open the book. So, does it get easier with time and practice, or does it always suck? πŸ˜•

If there's no practical reason or goal involved re: the dry or technical books, I would say don't force it. Or maybe just skim them lightly and quickly first to see if there are any sections that really are of interest to you, and only read those parts.

I don't think reading ever sucks.

But reading would become more difficult, if I remember correctly.

Not me.

I'm in the zone when I smoke.

Another view could be that book culture in general (the writing and reading of them) is/was just a transitory cultural madness that will rightly fade away because it is so unnatural.

Gets a bit harder as you age..........
I really enjoyed reading books but now,
unless I'm in direct sunlight, it's a chore....
I've been young, now I'm old, take my word,
young is better.......... πŸ˜•

Another possibility is that maybe you have reached some kind of tipping point in your accumulation and digestion, and it's time for you to start writing books or pamphlets (perhaps even broadsides!) or whatever right-sized projects seem suitable.
