      Read “Project Hail Mary” … It was an easy, quick read, and really enjoyable.

      “And then there were none” (formerly “Ten little indians”) by agatha christie is a another easy, enjoyable read.

      There are book communities on the Fediverse that could help motivate you to read.

      I used to read. I used to love reading. What happened to me? Now I just buy books for them to sit on my shelf collecting dust :(

      Yeah, but you’re not anti-book. It’s different if you just don’t have time / energy right now. There are literally millions of people who just…like, don’t believe in it.

            The news sucks now. Every article is what the president says, the few remaining news sources have gone way downhill and they mostly just gave up last year. Less reporting, more bullshit.

            More pushing admin lies, fairness bias, ect. I want to read events not the play by play on politicians talking shit. Nytimes eats bags of dicks.

        “Uh, s-scuse me, all I see are screens, I’m just looking for something with some words in it.”

        “Words?”

        “Yeah.”

        “You mean like in the books!? What for?”

        “Just… to read.”

        “Heh heh heh heheheheh… heheheheh…”
