I’m assuming different people would have different reading style.
With the exception of Baldacci’s (Long Road to Midnight) which I finished in 3 days last week (not to brag but it’s a record for a non-reader like myself), nowadays I find myself reading a book for 10mins or a few chapters before resting and then start reading another book.
Is this related to the Netflix syndrome where we scrolling for ages and finally giving up, not watching anything; I don’t know. In my case, the book-hunting – either from the library catalogue or Amazon Kindle is the dopamine-releasing act.
There were books which I didn’t/couldn’t finish before; so there is a possibility I might repeat. No issue with it; if I just lost interest, I’m not forcing myself through it. It’s not like it’s food which would go bad.
Raided my local libraries and managed to land a few in the list below.
Plan to leave the list here and update it regularly for my future reference.
Might make it a monthly thing; now that I have a blog its easier to keep track.
