As I noticed, after reading 2-8 thousand words a day, after a few days of reading like this, it becomes very difficult for me to read, and I started reading actively lately, before that I only watched TV shows and movies, and now I have a slight headache, the text is floating, I even confuse words. In fact, that’s why I used to read very little, and now I’m so tired of TV shows and movies that I’m willing to force myself to read, even if I have a headache, to become emotionally attached to books instead of just consuming like zombie like I used to.

    I read from the monitor screen, since the books that interest me cannot be bought in stores, except online, but I don’t have much extra money for purchases in 2026, and I am already used to it, sometimes I read paper books that I have at home, and yes, it is a little more convenient and pleasant to read, but it is still difficult for me to read more than two thousand words a day, Sometimes it seems to me that the problem is either that I’m too immersed in the story, or I’m trying too hard to keep the picture in my head through the text.

      Instead of plowing on through, stop and let the story work on you.

      It’s fine for you to sit and just think about the story.

      If you want to let the world build in your mind slowly, that’s fine.

      Isthere a local library you can get physical books from?
