Social media makes me feel empty at best and angry at worst. Literature is rewarding and mentally stimulating.

Hmm i couldnt agree more about how social media makes me angry grrrr and how reading is very rewarding. Despite the fact that it is quite difficult for me to neglect gen z hedonistic stuff and start reading a book

If you had been a millennial you'd have been into funkopops and marvel, if you had been a gen x'er you d have been into fucking and clubbing, had you been a boomer you be into ruining the economy and swinging. No matter the generation, if you want an excuse to avoid reading, you'll find one.

Some people may continue to read literature because they find it enjoyable and fulfilling. Reading books can provide a sense of escape from the world, allow for the exploration of new ideas and perspectives, and provide emotional connections with characters and stories. Additionally, reading can also improve cognitive abilities and provide a sense of accomplishment. In times like these, it may be helpful to set aside dedicated time for reading and limit distractions such as playing video games or watching TikTok.

>What makes you keep reading literature when there is much more fun stuff to do
Who says I read?

vidya simply does not work as fulfillment. i play for 3 hours and feel like shit for the rest of the day; why would i willingly do that to myself?

I started reading a Confederacy of Dunces. I keep picking youtube over reading it, and ill scroll youtube for an hour finding nothing interesting. That doesn't happen when I pick up the book, the opposite, I can read it for the same amount of time and not feel as dull. Problem is picking it up in the first place.
