I read every day, before bedtime, and in bed. I can’t fall asleep without reading something. This has been a lifelong habit. I still also study techie books for my career. I pretty much self trained foir that by reading books.
Mostly non-fiction. History, music criticism and artist bios, current science. Been reading anarchist literature recently.
I am old, 65. It has affected my reading habits, but not completely; I have fewer commitments, more time on my hands.
Is this positive? I have quit automatically picking up the tablet and reading when I wake at 2 am, and try to go back to sleep again.
I am very picky about what I enjoy. I suggest you try lots of genres, types of books, find something you enjoy. If that’s graphic novels, enjoy that: if it helps associate reading with fun instead of being a task, great.
No. I’m more of a hoodie person.
I never even considered the UK, in spite of having English friends here in the states, and US friends currently living there, and enjoying it. My limited knowledge is that visa issues are problematic, and the cost of living is rather high. Culturally it would be great.
