It's quite nice. I like to read before bedtime. Currently I'm reading Fifth Business, and it's very funny, the scene with the Jesuit on the train is top-tier.

I used to enjoy it more but desu I don't enjoy literature anymore as much at all. I still do like sitting and reading philosophy or something purely descriptive though. So I feel u

Arguing with anons is a great way to enjoy reading more, as it forces your mind to restructure and reorganize your reading input into coherent ideas.

if you read books for pleasure, sex and even masturbation are better, if you read books for engrossment, then video games and movies are better. People should read books only if they feel the need for it.
