When did you guys feel that you "got into" reading? I've been plowing through books and audio books for about 3 months now (managed to get by like 18, I'm on sick leave) and I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it. I've read things like Catch 22, 1984, The Process and One flew over the cuckoo's nest. Have you gotten to a point where you yearn for the next book, where you can't wait to read another classic? Can you describe when it happened for you and what it's like? I enjoy reading for different reasons, but it's not second nature yet.

Pretty much never. I read one book or 3/4 a book then don't read for like 6 months. Come back and finish the book I left and then start another and do the same thing.

This.

This is all of /lit/. It's the main reason I hate this board. It's the same thing as using knowledge as a fashion accessory.

I sure seem like a bad, bad reader who shouldn't be let into your secret treehouse, don't I

also leave if you hate it so badly, that kind of elitist I'm so much better but I still hang out here shit is pathetic

Elementary school. I would get so absorbed in a book I would lose track of my surroundings, people had to physically shake me out of it. I was munching through 800+ page books in a couple of weeks or less (contemporary stuff, so it wasn't that difficult to read but still...).
