Try reading essay collections or autofiction. It feels more similar to something youād read online. Also donāt just look up ābest booksā and stick yourself with something challenging right off the bat. Read something exciting and fun: Steven King, Ira Levin, basically the types of books that get turned into movies.

More broadly, read what you are interested in.
Iāve gotten into reading again this year and it clicked more with me when my friend who is a big reader gave me this advice. I started by reading two books David Fincher adapted, Gone Girl and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Since then, I have read a Elmore Leonard book, who wrote Jackie Brown, and more light sci fi and magical realistic which lines up with my movie taste.

I have gone long stretches without reading and what helps me get back to it is usually a comic book or graphic novel. Also thereās no wrong way to read, you can read whatever you want. Donāt pressure yourself to read a certain amount or certain genres.

i usually find myself in reading ruts when iām taking classes and being assigned books or when iām trying to keep up with new releases and the āsmartā books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. Iām reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and itās just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!

Donāt let the doctors and intermittent fasters tell you otherwise. Food is energy and it makes you strong and helps you concentrate and be happy. Donāt let that blood sugar dip down. Hold the line.

I have one of those microwave popcorn poppers and buy stupid seasonings to put on my corn. Trader Joeās ranch seasoning is my latest go-to flavor. I like the tang.
Nutritional yeast is a staple topping. Zaāatar too. Anything truffle-y if you wanna get fancy. TJās mushroom seasoning blend is mostly just salt though: an anti-recommend on that one

Mediterranean chicken from work beat me up. Little sis is down even worse after the cafeteria jalapeƱo turkey burger. Our gut micrometropolises are sister cities.
