The trick is to read multiple books at once. I usually have one fiction and one non-fiction. Best if they're different lengths as well. You get full of one, you move to the other. You finish one, it spurs you to finish the other and start another. I also find that choice paralysis is weakened when you know you have another book going and there is less shame when putting a book down because you're just picking up the other like planned.

@@cinemaatrium3863 I never said I absorb everything I read. 75% of the books I read are fluff, enjoyable, escapism. I get lost in the story, and when I close the covers as I read the last sentence, details are put aside for a general feeling of “kick ass author, with at least a 90% editor.” (Bad editing makes me drop a book after the 5th missed error, regardless of how good the story is.) I love reading books that are part of a story universe, but have to refresh my memory in each book of the characters. Bottom line, reading for me, is one of my happy places. For my daily books, I don’t read books where I have to skip parts because they are boring or I find the content thick or I have to slow my pace to absorb whats going on so I know what’s going on later. I read books with lots of witty, clever dialogue, fun dialogue, and happy story lines (life outside of books is messed up enough that I don’t want anything too messy in my moments I escape from it). That isn’t to say that avoid all conflict in books the other 25% of my reading slows me down greatly because I am invested in the story/topic, and the writing is more dense. Don’t judge profuse readers by whether they can retain details from every book. Celebrate them because they find joy in so many different books. Independently published authors need us to find and celebrate them. Casual readers will never give them the traction they need.

When I was in high school, I also used to read a different book everyday. I like reading but when I was in elementary, our school library was so strict they'd be the ones to give you a book to read and won't give you options. So I didn't bother checking out the library. But all of that changed when I got into high school and found out you could borrow whatever book you wanted as long as you limit the borrowing to only one book. The one book limit was a bummer, but it did end up making me power read through a bunch of books. Sometimes I even finish one book before the day ends. If it was a really thick book though, it would take me two days to finish it off 😅.

Me who is a student, has 9 hours of classes everyday, yet still finishes a book a day as entertainment: 0.o
