Oh, I've finished a few books. I just occasionally take a while for a certain chapter!

Edit: I do appreciate the supportive attitude; however, it did feel unintentionally dismissive. Fwiw, I was venting, not looking for a solution!

All good! Were different people and what works for me might not work for you! I just love books and I want you to be able to enjoy them too. :)

I realized a while back I wasn't reading anymore. But as a kid, I was the one who'd use a flashlight to read under a blanket to avoid getting caught staying up. I'd even read a book walking between classes in highschool, navigating with my peripheral vision (I realized I never needed a whole five minutes for class change, so what better way to use up the time?).

So, definitely on the same team!
