Hello /lit/
I'm an uncultured pleb and would like to make reading a hobby.
I've always been really lazy for reading but I feel I'm missing out too much.
What are some tips to make reading more enjoyable for a beginner?
uhhh what kind of stuff do u want to read
this board is full of philfags, but you dont have to read their stuff, read whatever you like, post more specifically for tips

So far this year I've read;
>Candide
>1984
>Halfway through The invisible man
I want to start with the popular stuff before I get into more obscure literature. I like sci-fi, mystery and horror.

Honestly, regarding reading as a discipline that you have to learn is the first pitfall you should avoid. Reading for the sake of reading is the most boring thing ever.
What you should do is find a book (no matter how pleb tier it is) that doesn't bore you and that no matter how lazy you are you can't put down. From there, you may or may not seek out similar things with more complexity, until you're accustomed to the action itself.
You'll see that when you truly want to read something your reading becomes more in-depth.

congrats on reading candide, i found it pretty long and old fashioned
some famous writers I would recommend for you: philip k dick, p.g. wodehouse, jane austen
yeah, just read what you find enjoyable, if it's good stuff then it broadens your mind

Mine only had 94 pages. Is there perhaps a longer version?
Thank you. I write those down.
