You are living a fullfilling life right now? I used to read a lot but then I go full materialistic and I don't remember those days anymore. I feel empty 2bh. I want something more and I think I can find it in reading again
Also I remember I quit books because I feeling very useless for suck at math, it's a huge inferiority complex I have
I haven't read a single book this year
dont worry icebro
im terrible at math too
just ignore it and move on to other things so you can get on with your life
I started 3 books and didn't finish a single one.
You should read only when your own thoughts dry up, which will of course happen frequently enough even to the best heads; but to banish your own thoughts so as to take up a book is a sin against the holy ghost; it is like deserting untrammeled nature to look at a herbarium or engravings of landscapes.
Meh, you can't start from a blank slate nowadays.
Not reading today, and just "thinking for yourself" is the first step to just completely buying into the dominant ideology of passé cynicism or ancient aliens bullshit.

Don't even get me started hahah, I started reading because I need to have something to meditate on.
I used to be always on the brink of suicide for years because whenever I would not be doing anything, I'd just start thinking "You are going to die, every day is a day closer to death" on repeat and have panic attacks. No sleep, just that, again and again. Reading let me go to sleep thinking about something sort of interesting and emotionally neutral, not just constantly panic over my mortality.
Since then, I know a lot of interesting things and I can always have very interesting conversations with people irl. Unless you're studying philosophy or something, there's bound to be only one "philosophy guy" in every group of friends, at most.
Thanks m8

It wasn't meant to be
I read books out loud to an audience of 0 viewers on Twitch TV every night. I'm reading Don Quixote right now. I would shill my stream here but I don't want to get b& for advertising.
thank you for your contribution to the effect of what phone technology do
