This is more important than one would think. For a long time, I had been reading off-and-on, sometimes reading a book a week, sometimes not reading at all.
Now that I have adopted the routine of consistently reading at least two hours a day (one of which is in bed, before going to sleep), I find that it's rather hard to NOT read.
Previously, I would need to take breaks from series: read one book, read something else. Read next in series, read something else, and so on. Now, after adopting the "read two hours in a day"-regime, I find it's much easier to continue reading the series.
I'm on the brink of finishing my 10th book in the Shannara series in a row; actually, this also marks the end of my re-read of all my Shannara paperbacks as e-books. (I have the newer books as e-books, but have never read them yet.)
Actually, now I have to force myself to quit and start reading something else, or I'll actually fail the reading challenge I set for myself this year. (A part of that challenge is "don't read fantasy all the fracking time."
)
