Toppling the To-be-read pile:
https://jesse-the-k.dreamwidth.org/316704.html
I've struggled with reading for a long time due to headaches, lack of concentration, my eyes getting tired, etc. I've lost the ability to devour novels, and it makes me sad. What I've gone to instead are:
--Comics and graphic memoirs, which are easier to focus on, usually.
--Reading fanfic on my eReader, which allows me to increase the text size, and read easily in bed where I don't have the distractions of the computer.
--Podfic and Audiobooks, although these also require focus! Often it's nice to listen to a fic more than once.
--Getting more into movies and TV, which I can discuss with my community and analyze in a similar way.
I seem to go through reading phases, and I try to be patient with myself. I can still be around books and discuss them with people without reading them.
