I was a bookworm during childhood and teenage years, when I felt alone because nobody shared my interests ("you like books more than people-boys"). I got a BA in Political Science, meaning I spent 5 solid years reading and reading and reading.
Apparently my brain got tired of that and when I moved abroad, where I spent 10 years, I simply stopped reading books - fiction and not. Because of working in front of a computer 8hs/5d, my capacity to focus on a narrative decreased with time.
I have tried to enjoy reading novels but it hasn`t happened. I felt this as a "I should be able to as before". That feeling is not there anymore, it may be hidden in the hustle of our everyday lives with a mobile in our hands.
But I found a way to read something each night: I have subscribed to two printed journals, delivered weekly at home, and I am focusing on (world affairs :/ ) for 15 minutes a day.
Far behind from my Anna Karenina´s and Gone with the Wind days, but it is still something.
Thanks for all the resources shared, I would like to try audiobooks!
