This lady must be a literal anarchist if she thinks restrictions and rules are for the mentally ill, right? Surely all of those rape, murder, theft, and more laws are just impediments to true freedom right?

Hi,

I'm new to this board (but not 4chan) and I've been struggling to get back into reading. I'm looking for advice and techniques on how to get back into it. I'll give some background info and hopefully someone can help me out.

I haven't sat down and devoted myself to a book in about two years. I graduated from undergrad in 2014 (where I had to read obviously, but because of time constraints I usually skimmed the req. readings, and no time for personal stuff) which had me reading books on diplomacy, strategy, history, etc. After graduating, I became employed and had more time for leisure activities which consisted of my other hobbies. The work I did required me to read a lot (the info I researched) and at that time I couldn't get into reading for pleasure. Fast forward to Fall 2015, and I was diagnosed with a medical condition (that I'm very happy to say I overcame) that ruined me emotionally - I felt hopeless but stayed strong and lived as best I could. I'm still feeling the effects from that time - I'm trying to get my life back on track, but I'm struggling everyday to do the things I used to do (and of course trying new things).

I guess it's fear - of what, I don't know. I mean, today (20 Nov.) I went into a bookstore to get a copy of "The Art of the Deal" by Donald Trump (please don't bully me - and please no political opinions) but put it back down, even though I've been telling myself I wanted to get that book for awhile.

I've got a bookshelf of literature I've collected over time (from school, sales, and Library give aways) that I have yet to touch, but I don't have that drive anymore.

So /lit/, what are your techniques for getting back into reading? What goals do you set? Any and all info is appreciated.

Thanks so much.
