# Read what you love first Created On: 10-10-2023 12:13 pm Up:: [[Reading (MOC)]] Tags:: #note/evergreen🌲 Topics:: [[Passion]] Related:: [[Reading for intellectual entertainment]] --- Becoming a prolific reader requires a resounding understanding of who you are as a reader… What you like, what you dislike; what challenges you, what’s mundane… If you become tired of or even burnt out on reading, remember to go back to what you love; read what captures your interest… There’s a reason you choose to say, “I’m a reader”. That’s because a part of you knows what it does love about reading, even if you can’t put a finger on that right now. Step back, experiment, try many books, [[Be comfortable with abandoning books]], and when you’ve found that *thing* - whether it is a series, the work of a given author who you find remarkable, a genre, etc. - call it home with confidence. This home base recharges you for the lovingly beautiful friction ahead.
