What to do... o.O

[Maheshvara]

Okay guys, i like reading stuff, be it comics/manga,books or even magazines, but these last 2 weeks i've been feeling like not reading anything... I know that i'm extremely picky when it comes to choosing books, but i can't ever properly force myself to read measly 1500~ pages of Count of Monte Cristo.... I like this book, a lot, but never got to read it because of school (needed to read stuff for it too...), and now i have the time, but i just can't make myself do it... I could make myself read an LN (with a rather bad english) for 15 hours straight, and can't even do this....

 

What do you think i should do How to make myself read more Do i take a nice, long nap or what?

 

Thank's in advance for answering and happy New Years and upcoming holidays

I'm confused, you read mangos?

Maybe you've read too much books / whatever readable media? I don't know for sure, but maybe have a sort-of break from reading, like maybe for few days or weeks? You can get bored to any kind of media, and even though for example I like playing games daily, I eventually get bored of them and maybe take a few days long break from gaming. This might not work for everyone or any person, but perhaps it's something you could try?

.. I don't read so can't speak from  experience...

But whenever I half want to play a game, I force myself to do it and it turns out to be fun usually

I fully understand you. I don't think i can do something other than read... I literally don't have anything to do...

 

Hanging out with friends? Nope, they like getting drunk, so no thank you

Watching movies/tv series'es? Also bored with that

Play games? I have a over heating shitty laptop, so no....

Go out with a girlfriend? Don't have one and don't have a wish to have one...

 

I seriously don't know what to do... Will try sleeping, since my average sleeping time in the last week was 5~ hours... But even before i was reading a lot with even less sleep...

 

It seems that my life is centered too much about reading for me to do anything... Whenever i'm alone i would read something, be it a manga, LN/WN or a book...

If you don't feel motivated to read one particular book, then don't read it?

 

I like reading, mainly LN, VN and manga, but I still have a particular genre of books that I enjoy more than others. I've often stopped reading a novel after a chapter or two, because it just didn't interest me. There's nothing wrong with you not having the motivation to read something over something else.

 

That said, I personally mainly read at night, just can't feel motivated during the day. So I read in bed before falling asleep.

 

If you want some change, try a Visual Novel. Like Ever17, Clannad, Kanon, Air, Muv-Luv, Rewrite, Fate/Stay Night, amongst many other. A few of them have Anime Adaptations, but they pale greatly compared to the Visual Novels.

If you don't feel like reading then don't^^ Forcing yourself to read will only result in not enjoying the book

Unless it's a good one. Then you'll be hooked
