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 0 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 mean I was autistic enough to start by reading fanfiction of books I've already read, eventually I had read everything that was good and started making fun of the shit-tier grammar. Would reccommend.

How do I stop getting bored and dropping it like a third of the way through? I can get through volumes and volumes of manga, and reading random online short stories or articles no problem. But every time I get a couple chapters into a book it's just too many words and I lose interest, no matter the subject.

If you post on 4chan you must do it frequently
