I know it's little, but between being at and sthdying for university every day, spending time with friends, family and girlfriend as well as working part time and giving supplementary lessons, I don't really have much time to read.
As for reading on the shitter, I take that time to check my mails and social media.

I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult book or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I read economics and fiction.

-It isn't a race. Reading slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what books are for you to read fast and which aren't.

-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.

-Start with books highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.

I would feel sorry for you if you weren't a dumb frogposter

No, don't be a faggot. Start with the Greeks and just dive right into it.

The Stranger
Of Mice and Men ( + Grapes of Wrath if you have time)
Notes From Underground (add Crime and Punishment if you have time)
Dubliners
Kafka's Short Stories (find a list of the majors because you can skip most of them)
Bartleby the Scrivener
Animal Farm (swap out or add 1984 if you like)
Heart of Darkness
Fahrenheit 451
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

Why the fuck are there so many threads like "oh duh how do I read" every fucking day here? It must be because you people are actually stupid posers who want to look smart to the other kids at school. There's no secret about how to be "a reader," just FUCKING READ THE BOOKS. How stupid are you?? If you don't automatically enjoy reading good books you're a fucking idiot and you shouldn't pretend you're not. Duhh durr I have to read ten books in half a year blah blah.. WHY?? Just fucking read the books you dickhead. It's not a contest. Nobody gives a shit about you.

i feels like you're projecting.
Im in a somewhat similar situation like OP in that i want to start reading habitually daily,for me it's because i see that i do nothing with my time and i want to fill it in somehow,and i feel less guilty about filling that time with books
