I’ve recently changed my perspective in regards to reading. I used to treat books as sacred, and would not start a new one until I had finished the current one. Having multiple books on the go at one time was out of the question.
Now though, I’m more into encouraging the habit of reading itself. I used to get stuck at some point in a book I was reading and that would mean I would stop reading entirely, until I worked up the motivation to dive back in. In reality, I rarely feel like reading the same thing day after day, so I’ve resolved to break my reading up into a few categories and always have one on the go from each category. This way, I’m always interested in reading something – and the habit lives on.
