Reading a book you don’t want to be reading is like dating a partner you don’t care to be in a relationship with - every interaction feels like a chore

I used to feel obligated to stick it out. But over time, I went from reading 1+ book per day to hardly anything at all. Now I let myself abandon books, or read 10 books at the same time, or read terrible trashy books instead of good ones. And although it feels a bit stressful, it has me back to reading again :)

it’s ok to put it down - it will be alright - that’s what libraries and the internet is for… dusty old books and gitbooks people don’t read

huge proponent of dropping books when it stops feeling right, as with partners. the less time you spend out of alignment the more time you have to be in alignment💖

When I was a kid, I thought books were always true. And I thought it was somehow morally bad to dislike a book, as if to dislike an author's opinions or style was some sort of sacrilege. now, thought I respect the effort it takes to write a book, I respect my free time enough to cut the losers as soon as possible 😆

It’s liberating to think of yourself as a bee around books, buzz around and try things without commitment until you can’t let go of it. Buzz around and find out sorta thing.
