Do you want to read more than you do read? How to read more

It depends on what you're reading. A big misconception that most people on this board fall victim to is that you must read a 'canon' in order to be a 'reader.' Never quite understood this. I read about things that I find interesting and want to know more about. Try researching on Google about vague topics that you would like to know more about, or themes that are relevant to your past experience. Hopefully you will get a sense of the style you prefer, and will get less bored. Try reading some short stories first if you get intimidated by long narratives. For an arbitrary starting point that has a diverse collection of stories, I'd recommend Girl with Curious Hair by David Foster Wallace, or The Angel Esmeralda by Don DeLillo. Honestly you need to find topics that you enjoy... reading is meant to be fun.

Unless it's philosophy; then you're going to have a boring ol' time. But that's the point.

p good post

I spend more time searching books to read and buying them than actually reading. Feels bad.

unless you are doing for work/college, you should force yourself to read anything t.bh. read what you enjoy. but yes, the more you read, the more you want to read

The Angel Esmeralda is a masterpiece. Not a fan of DFW though

Read what you like. Don't start with the heavy stuff. Find an author you like and search for more of his stuff or things related to it.

As for wanting to read more, I have a pretty tight budget recently, so I've been spending more time trying to find something worth buying than reading, which is sad.

>How to read more everyday? Does it get better and easier?
Reading definitely gets easier, and if you don't know how to critically analyze a text then yes you'll get better at it. Make reading part of your routine, like reading for x number of minutes when you get home from work/class every day. Then make x greater if you want to read more, or dedicate another time during your routine to reading.

I dreamt myself exactly like that figure. What did I mean by this?
