Ah... at times I have to make myself read! Not a big chore as I'm a compulsive reader anyway, but other things often get in the way. I attend a book club once a month, [profile] bilbliogoth, currently run by [personal profile] silkyraven, which my goth friends set up over twenty years ago (haven't been going that long, perhaps eight or nine years). So we have a deadline, you have to read the set book by the date of the next meeting. And it makes me read stuff that I probably wouldn't go out of my way to read, like this book -left to my own devices I'd probably just read science-fiction non-stop. This way I've discovered a lot of interesting writers, particularly women writers like Chimamanda NgoziAdichie and Zara Neale Hourston. It's been very nourishing for me. I hope you can do something similar at some point.
