Mo-o-o-o isn't really reading at the moment. However, the fishy does want to ask if anyone else can relate to the situation that I have regarding books. So like, I have plenty of books in my bookshelves as of now, many that I have bought recently or in the past because those books have piqued my interest in some form or capacity. And yet, lots of them have just ended up collecting dust, staying unread, some for a few years at this point! It's not that I do not want to read them...but maybe, mayhaps...I'm just too distracted/focusing on one thing, or just prefer to do other things, whether focusing on my future career aspects, play video games, watch YouTube/listen to music, other obligations, etc! Like, when will I ever be in the correct mo-o-o-od to pick up a book for once?

This sounds exactly like the reading slump I fell into for a few years due to internet overuse and school taking up most of my time. Embarrassingly, I’ve only just started reading again in the past year or two! And let me tell you, I spent a lot of time waiting around to be in the right mood for a read…which, as it turns out, doesn’t actually work. The internet in particular damaged my attention span to the point where I never found myself turning to books in my spare time anymore. It became my instinct to get on the computer instead. I realized I’d have to set aside time specifically for reading if I ever wanted to go back to it, so that’s what I’ve done—and I’m quite glad I did! I didn’t realize how much I’d missed it!

As for the question posed by this thread, I just got a copy of An Immense World from the library, having been in the mood for some nature nonfiction. Prior to that, I read UFO, an interesting (and unusually objective) history of UFO sightings—which was actually part of the reason I ended up revisiting a certain pair of LBT characters.
