It's just that I get overwhelmed with responsibilities and by the time I feel like I can invest time on reading I have forgotten the part I read with is a huge demotivator. Definitely reading some novels is on my to-do list this year. I feel incomplete as a person when I'm unable to provide references from classic literature and philosophy when I'm in a conversation.
How fast do you read? I find it more enjoyable to take it slow. Helps to cement it in your mind too when you can think about it and connect it to other things. I think I remember reading about a hermit, Christopher Knight, who lived by himself in the woods for 27 years, being able to essentially memorise books with ease.
I think that speed-reading thing where you follow your finger and flip the page every 3 seconds is complete BS.
