Does anyone else forget what they’ve read as soon as they’ve finished the book? I’ve read so many books that are 5 star reads for me but as soon as I finish it I can’t remember anything about it 😂

Hello everyone, So I've been struggling a lot with reading ever since I started working. I used to be able to read between 30 to 40 books a year when I was in university, but the moment I entered adulthood finding the time and energy to read became a real issue. A book that I could finish reading in a week, now takes me months to get through. Does anyone have any tips or advices to get back to a consistent reading habit as a working adult ?

andy weir you're such a specific brand of early internet scientific meganerd. i'm living for it tho

So before i read the travelling cat chronicles by hiro arikawa, which is a general fiction book, i totally kept myself to fantasy books only, i never ventured out of that genre prior to this book and it actually ended up becoming my all time favourite book. Something like 2 years have passed now since i first read it and i've now got it in multiple languages and recommend it to everyone i can 😙

Does anyone else have a book like this that changed your reading for you? Or a book way out your comfort zone that you loved?

"a bottle blonde" "her skin as hot as an oven range" "he laughs. beautifully" "she fights not to cry out in their bedroom, but she can't contain it"

Just so many cringey lines. And don't get me started on some of the dialogue 💀

The story is interesting enough to want to keep reading. But it's definitely no literary masterpiece haha

Don't know much about Blake Crouch but maybe this is one of his earlier novels? The writing is just pretty basic and clunky. It's EXTREMELY first person point of view, which is why I think the writing is like that, but just the overall prose is just a bit off to me.

I am gonna keep reading because I love a good mystery/thriller, and I think the prose is easy enough to overlook some of the awkwardness.
