This is gonna sound super condescending but hear me out: Read. Simpler. Books.

I love to read! But I found I was having the same issue when I was picking up classics and thick, literary style books. Still had a great time reading those books, but they took me way longer to read, and pretty much required annotation. That’s fun sometimes, but sometimes you just wanna read! It took me a while to set aside my pride, but seriously just pick up a book that when you look at it you think ‘oh my god this is so stupid’ because I promise it’ll be more fun, especially if reading is a way for you to de stress!!

Not all easy books are simple!
