I read so much when I was a kid and even through and after high school. Somewhere mid bachelors, I got too busy with my studies and stopped reading for pleasure. When I have attempted to read again, I find myself completely and utterly bored, unengaged, and wanting the experience to end. I stopped buying or checking out books 7 - 8 years ago. I miss it, but I can't experience pleasure from it anymore.
