I started a novel but motivation to read it is low. Maybe I need a better book, but it feels like I'm just consuming a different type of media with the same level of uselessness that I would be consuming anyway, just without the added dopamine release of a bright light in my eyes. But I guess that's partly the idea, lowering the intensity from the constant context-shifting of electronics.
I heard lateral eye movement can help increase communication between the brain hemispheres (which supposedly improves memory accuracy). Plus books can rev up your verbal IQ to reach its potential after a long hiatus.
I find after listening to anyone for an extended period of time my thought patterns begin to mimic them (which reminds me of when I would have dreams of following along sheet-music and playing it in my head after practicing an instrument). Reading a book written by someone with a good grasp of language would definitely make your inner monologue more interesting - which makes me curious of how the average normie, consuming heaps of disjointed and transient media, thinks.
