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? 😕

@mchill saidProbably depends on the subject matter.

@mchill saidIf 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.

@mchill saidI don't think reading ever sucks.

@contenchess saidBut reading would become more difficult, if I remember correctly.
@mchill

@mchill saidAnother 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.
