Since more than a decade, I got so addicted into the phone that I got distanced from books!! But the same phone got me get away from phone!! I have started reading the Three Body Matter by Xijin Liu and it is hard for me to complete two pages without getting distracted! But it is improving! I have already completed the 10 chapters! I never liked Science books because I have no background in it! But I am really liking this Science fiction!! I am waiting for the book exhibition so that I can run and buy more books! What are you currently reading or what's in your novel list??

I like reading books and novels. If I'm not here, either I'm doing chores or reading

That's a great habit! I wish I had taken more advantage of libraries in the places I have studied!

@anya12adwi I work in a library so it is easy for me to have access to hundreds of books.

Best of luck with your reading habit! I have an e-reader with books I downloaded ages ago on some "shady" site. I'm more into self-help than novel, but I need to clear my nightstand before I can give it a try. The book I plan to read first is The Gorilla Mindset, mixed reviews... but I got it for free.

I don't know why but I prefer books over sites or pads! But books have also become costly and only one library in my city!

@somewitch Yes, that's why world needs more libraries is what I believe, especially my place and India!

@anya12adwi The e-reader doesn't have a backlit screen so it doesn't strain the eyes, but of course, it will never be like a real book. If you can rely on a library, that's great. Even if I could buy many books, I wouldn't have enough space at home.

That's a good one. Social media really distracted this era. Lol! I have a few in my list since I never finished any of this, I bought books but I was not able to finish one this year, maybe because of work, I guess if I settled already onmy online grinds I'll start opening one of those books.

@anya12adwi I sometimes read non-fiction. Biographies and history books, things like that. What non-fiction do you read?
