I also dislike noise (no audiobooks for me) and in consequence have been reducing the amount of TV I watch. So reading light fiction - mysteries and Regency romances mostly, has become my main leisure activity.
That, coupled with my slightly obsessive fixation with all the delightful stats on reading available at the StoryGraph have me about to reach 100K pages and 300 books for the year so far. It says nothing at all about my intellect, reading ability or character. All it says is that I have a lot free time and enjoy passing it in silence.  |
For me quarantine and work from home made it harder to read. At office, I would read and hour at lunch. now I am addicted to streaming Hulu lol. Part of my problem this year is finding a book I like. I chose quite a few books this year that turned out to be painfully slow moving to where I could not even finish the book. I also have a short attention span. I am trying to train my mind to be more focused when I do read. I like wordrunner on amazon fire devices. I wish it was available on the kindle app.
