GENERAL BOOK/READING THREAD sankara-salute

How do you find time to read lotsa books ? Anytips +input. I dont really wanna cut into my little game time and time for painting. But I also wanna read more books. Atm I have read 5 to 6 short 300-400 page books a year which is good if I compare it to the fact that I read 0 books in some years before.

I "think" I could up my yearly books to 7-8 but 10 would prolly feel like im pushing it (if we talk about 300-400page books on average)

Gimme your thoughts or praise (for being a good boi who reads books) I know its not theory just ficiton but I just really started to read again in the last 3 years so Im easing myself into it by reading 40k novels. Its chill and mostly simple I also read some Brandon Sanderson fantasy novels. I know not high art but you gotta start somewhere.

EDIT : Good thread. Thanks for everyone who participated

i've gotten even worse somehow but i will probably click play on an audio book next year. you can listen while playing some kinds of games (especially bethesda slop) and i'd expect you can listen while painting but crayons always broke when i touched them so i did not become a visual arts person.
