Yess was hoping this thread would exist
I was always a big reader, always had a book in hand, but it's something that has left me recently, this current downward spiral has robbed me of my concentration to read.
Yeah I had that. I'm lucky just a few days ago after hitting bottom and the shock made me go out with my family and have a drink. For some weird reason the next day I put my phone in another room while I went to bed ad spent the whole 12 hours that night staring at nothing and woke up the calmest I've been in ages.
..
as for books, I really have liked recently.. for philosophy and meaning - The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, The Trouble With being Born.. Cioran gives serious views about how we fail and why to laugh at life's craziness while also hating pretty much all of society. I use audiobooks a lot, I last listened to 12 Rules for Life and have been recommended a couple Buddhist ones by audible. For pleasure Lovecraft.
Right now I am praying for the focus to read a whole chapter of this book tonight :D I got it when collecting are vintage or nice covers - Adding some fiction inti my schedule -Worlds End by T.C. Boyle.
reading is so good just always take it slow and read once a day i would rec. Be a minimalist, one page a week is better than nothing and work on checking what you are into =reading a book you'll actually look forward to! And mix it up, don't read two heavy ones in a row.
