By first dealing with your depression and anxieties. Once this is solved reading is quite comfy.

YOU EAT PIECES OF SHIT FOR BREAKFAST?

just read, go against ur laziness. once you become enveloped in the story you'll want to read more & it won't feel like a chore.

Building patience with reading is like working a muscle. Start off with brief bursts of light reading, then go from there.

If you don't enjoy reading, there's something wrong with your reading list. Lay off the classics or whatever it is you're struggling with and read one of Memekami's comfy novels, for example.

I've noticed that reading becomes a lot easier when I make an effort to (as clearly as I can) picture what's happening in my mind, even when the descriptions aren't too detailed and especially when shit gets complicated.

It seems like more work but for whatever reason, the effort seems to pay off and make the text seem less like a chore.

Read something you can actually get into. I'm currently reading the Bible and Moby Dick among other books. Reading the Bible feels often times like a chore, but there are some passages in there that are really interesting to read. Moby Dick on the other hand is extremely interesting to read. Meville's writing style is superb imo and just makes you wanting to read more.

Read books you get into easily, even if thats books like the Hunger Games. Eventually you'll start picking up on things like quality of prose, subtext, and references to othwr books with ease and more /lit/ books will become entertaining to read.

If you want /lit/ quality booka everybody seems to enjoy, check out novels like A Clockwork Orange, 1984, and Kafka On the Shore. Those are pretty widely appealing, but still quality, books.

Tbh you just have to get gud, scrub.

Also, look into literature classes and book clubs. Having some other reason to make you read can make it interesting. I know books I read for uni were more interesting because I was thinking of essay assignments.
