Just keep trying, this happens to me on a regular basis, great when you are able to jag a book to your liking. Do not bother about putting aside book that are not to your liking, reading is to be enjoyed not endured.

Most of last month, I was in a reading slump, so to speak. Even this month, but I'm hoping to get back up.

My last reading slump was during my college years. I had so little free time and when I did, I would rather sleep than read and I hated it. When I graduated and started working last year I was able to pick back up the habit of reading!

It ended the other day. I was in one for almost two weeks and it was frustrating.

I do that everytime I don't have a place to be the next day, I deprive myself of sleep and read till I start to sleep off, I know it is unhealthy but it is an habit hard to break.

I've been reading a mile a minute but it's all been stuff for uni. Not that I mind, I love my major but sometimes I feel guilty picking up a book that's purely for my indulgence rather than for my studies. It's why I joined this community, I can justify reading for myself here. I hope it gets me back on my usual book-devouring path. :techie-studyingbrown:

I think a long time ago. I don't quite remember when. I've been on a good reading streak of late!
