Anyone else have reader's block? I've not felt the

What book was it? Do you have anything in your backlog that you particularly want to read?

I've got quite a few books I can start, I just don't feel like picking up a book to read. I did do quite a bit of reading throughout the year though, from the start of February I'd been reading a full novel every week up to this November. I think I might just be burnt out.

I have a longhaul flight on the 16th, so I might bring along a book to start then.

The last book l read was Heart of Darkness in mid-October.

After that l've tried reading The Myth of Syssiphus twice and gave up after thirty pages. I feel stupid.

Reader's block doesn't exist like writer's block does. Whereas creativity can effervesce, the ability to sit on your ass with a book in front of you will always be within your grasp. Stop building an artificial construct to justify your laziness and read. You're reading shitposts now, it's not too dissimilar.

How can you be too lazy to do something which is an inherently lazy pastime?

complex mental contortions. It's very possible. I'm the master of lazy. I've been in bed for 8 years now, minus excursions for toilet, food, and 2 years of wageslavery, and I've been there.

Holy shit

I get "reader's block" as well. For me, it's a sign to re-read the last book I read until I'm sick of it enough to move on.

The key is to convince yourself you can't do something, and to believe it. I used to be able to accidentally will myself out of being able to move entirely. Coming up with some sort of metaphysical structure, like a psychosomatic illness, or even "readers block" and then surrendering control to it is a great way of fostering inertia. Of course, once you learn how to do it, you learn how to un-do it and the spell (what basically amounts to self-hypnosis) is broken.

Nowadays I leave my room and I feel like Fry from Futurama. There are literal fucking hoverboards, everyone has smartphones, the music is irredeemable and the craziest ideologies run rampant. I don't much like it, so back to bed I go.
