For me it depends, reading books is hard for me because it feels like a chore that never ends. Even if it is a thrilling story, it's just hard for me to focus for long enough to make any progress. Might be ADHD idk. But at least I keep reading news articles and other things that are relevant, because obviously I want to stay informed about what's happening in the world, especially when elections are around the corner.

Have you tried an e-Reader? Helped me with my ADHD, went from 0 books a year to about 2 dozen works this year, from fiction to Marxist theory.

I don't see how it makes a difference? What do you think that makes an e-reader more convenient for you?

Super convenient, and I can obscure the length of books that is otherwise intimidating.

Those are really good points for getting an e-reader!
