I noticed I'm no longer reading books. Maybe it's just that I haven't found anything enticing the last few years but in the same way as I don't like watching movies anymore I can't seem to manage to sit down and read a novel. I did read a few technical books, but as someone with 2 kinda full bookcases this is some kind of shock development.


It comes and goes for me but in recent times I've found it harder and harder to read through a book. Similarly I don't watch movies, I find them very hard to sit through.

I've pondered this recently. On the book front I feel I've read a lot of styles and stories and I now need something a bit different to hold my attention. I've sought interesting and weird books. It's not that the books I'm rejecting are bad or worthless, they just feel like they're treading the same tropes. One thing I don't often find is humourful writing that gives an ordinary story some spark and wit.
