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?
I think if a book is captivating enough, the environment doesn't matter too much. I do most of my reading in public transport, usually standing and reading on my phone. You can hold your phone in a way without slouching or your hand getting tired.
For books that are really demanding I may prefer reading at home, sitting on a chair or the bed. But I can't read while lying down, it's either super uncomfortable or I fall asleep. Physical books are nice when they're small but I'll still prefer the phone.
No notes or anything like that, maybe some underlining that I'll forget to get back to afterwards.
