I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult book or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I read economics and fiction.

-It isn't a race. Reading slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what books are for you to read fast and which aren't.

-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.

-Start with books highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.

As a /fit/izen who wants to start reading more and more and just discovered /lit/ I like what you're promoting.

here, have this rare pepe that someone traded for in another thread that I shamelessly stole and am now distributing.

>tfw sometimes I read loads and sometimes I don't read at all

I'd like to be more consistent as in consistently reading lots

This isn't even a troll post I don't think. It seems like legitimate advice. Thank you frog man.

I browse lit but pretty much never read besides my course textbooks but I'm finding the internet more and more boring/bad for my mental.
