I got older and, as with most things, life got in the way. I chose reading-heavy subjects at A Levels and University and something I used to enjoy for pleasure became a mandatory chore. Yes, thereā€™s a difference between reading about the story of a young wizard and studying the ethics of medical law, but stillā€¦ I stopped casually reading in my final year of GCSEs, and it wasnā€™t until the last 6 months (some 7 years later), that Iā€™ve managed to pick it back up. The best advice I could give to someone looking to get/back into reading would be to start small . Whether you read complex classics and long novels before (or this is where you aspire to end up), reading for pleasure, like most things, requires some amount of build up. I have actually found the easy ...
