> how 2 start reading again?

Browsing this board, I know that the vast majority of you would put me to shame, but I used to be a regular reader. I had The Tempest and a book on sign language on loan from the library when I was injured in a motor-vehicle collision - as a pedestrian. I've been through physical and emotional therapy, but now I want mental therapy in the form of knowledge through literature. According to the physicians and specialists, I'm "fine." I'm not one for "woe is me", but it's hard to read with the depression and concentration problems - I recently finished The Tempest and it took me 2 months, I know it's pathetic. What would help me read more often/for longer periods? I know, practice practice practice, but what else? I've heard about alpha waves or white noise for concentration as an example, but I'm asking for suggestions on habits I can develop so I don't feel as retarded browsing this board.

Thanks, litizens.

leave this board right now pleb faggot

What do you wish you knew before you started reading? What do you think everyone should read and know? I'm concerned that even with the /lit/ recommendations the literature will go over my head. I want to read everything from novels to plays to poetry so I can be familiar with literary culture.

The sticky is mostly outdated so I'm asking you guys; I'm tired of being ignorant, /lit/, I want edification.

What other resources can you point out to me? Would a website like Goodreads be a good idea?
