I figured out some of my problem with reading. I was trying to force myself to read the book I’d been reading while in the hospital at the end of December. I was telling myself I wasn’t allowed to read anything else until I finished that book. There are a few problems with that!
1.) I’m currently trying to process the trauma of that entire experience, because oh boy, there’s trauma.
2.) That’s a stupid rule I made up. I am not required to finish one book before moving on to another.
3.) I am pressuring myself over something I want to enjoy.
Well, put that book back (it was Watership Down. I do intend to finish it at some point) and picked up a new one. I just got the third and final book in Max Brooks’ Minecraft trilogy thanks to @lilbuddybd, so I figured I should give reading another shot by starting with the second one. (Read the first one ages ago through Libby and enjoyed it immensely.)
I will just have to keep reminding myself that reading is for fun and there are no rules.
Fuck yeah man, read whatever you want! I’m currently reading three seperate books haha, one of which is The Iliad, which is an EXPERIENCE let me tell you!
I hope you enjoy it! Reading is supposed to be fun, if you’re not enjoying it, there’s nothing wrong with putting it down!
Thank you! Though, now I’m curious as to what the other two books you’re reading are.
One of them is A Court of Mist and Fury, which I have read before but am doing a book-club-style reread of the series with @milomeepit, who has never read them, and the other is Women Around the Messenger, which is a book telling the stories of the women companions and relatives of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)

Ya know, my current anxiety over writing is probably just from my worsening fatigue. My brain and body are so, so tired.
