Used to read all the time.

Didn't read at all for about 10 -15 years. Would try, but generally give up after a day or two.

Back to reading now and it feels good to be able to consistently finish books 🙂

Part of it might be the new EPUB reader I've been coding — I finally have an app which does everything I want instead of having to find workarounds for things that don't work quite right 😛

Nice! I'm literally two days ahead of you on my current reading steak. There have been days recently that I've struggled to find time to read more than one or two pages, but I make sure to do it just to keep that dumb number going up.

@toekneegee Anything to keep motivated to read, right? 🙂

We (my wife and I) set time aside every evening where we turn off devices and read for about an hour before bed. We had to enforce that rule in order to get any reading done. Otherwise, we get caught up in stuff and totally forget to read ...

That's a great rule! I usually squeeze in my reading time after dropping off the little dude at school and before I go to bed (I work night shift). If work isn't busy, I can find time to read there.
