I think age and experience has done just the opposite to me. I find reading more enjoyable now than I ever did, much as I loved it when I was younger. I don't read the same kind of stuff now, although sometimes I do. And when I do I find new things in it and it provokes new ideas; things I wasn't really ready for till now.

I wonder if someone who finds it hard to find new ideas in books is focusing his reading too narrowly.
