I'm struggling getting back into "serious" reading and feel like my physical posture and environment is hindering me.
I used to read a lot (have inhaled many a Brandon Sanderson books on release) but I can't get into reading "hard" books. I read mainly in bed (with my kobo) but finding it tricky and I am turning into a hunchback. Audiobooks while cycling)/gym is great, but bit distracting for "hard" books.
How do ye do it?
Do you have a fav chair (will accept pictures if you could share!) or environment (like a reading nook)?
When and how do you make time to "digest" books?
Do you take notes and if so, how?
bonus question: what was a recent hard book that you enjoyed (and made you reframe stuff) and would recommend?
My answer is different depending on if it's fiction or non.
Also context I'm in academia which means I read constantly for work. This sadly means though that I don't read much fiction or for fun. I do try and mediate that by reading poetry since they're short !
But when I do read for fun I tend to read before going to bed so I'm laying down in bed.
For non fiction I will read lots of places. And I pretty much can't digest the information unless I'm able to highlight and annotate what I'm reading. I try to read non fiction that is relevant to my research not before bed so as to retain the information a bit better.
