Reading

February 19, 2021

‪I feel like my reading has really slowed down this year. I’ve only read 5 books so far. Last year I read 122 books for an average of 2.3 books per week. Granted, not feeling well since Christmas and having surgery has zapped my concentration and my time. I have barely written anything.

I also feel much busier for some reason. I’ve been to the hospital or ER four times so far this year for either myself or the ex, and that does not count in other doctor appointments.

I am finding it hard to find a book I can finish, too. I started The Stand (which did take up a lot of my reading time) at the beginning of the year, but have had to shelve it for a while. It just got to be too much. I am 70% through and got bored with it. (I read it once back in the 1980s and felt I needed to re-read it, as I have forgotten so many things).

I really need to get writing again. I had to cancel a couple of jobs, but I kept one I need to get done in the next week or so.

I need motivation.
