Inspiring article!

"Look, I’m just gonna say it. Reading is hard. Not the act, but the pursuit. There’s always something else to do—something easier, something bigger or louder, something that makes you feel better, something that makes you feel worse. (Looking at you, social media.) But none of that changes the fact that we all want to be readers. ....it’s why putting a book down unfinished creates a little scar tissue. I couldn’t do it, you think. I failed. Couple that with the ever-growing list of books you want to read, and the only choice is to march grimly on; looking back is grief....

...next time you put down a book, remember this: It's not you. It's not the book, either. (OK, maybe it's the book.) It's the timing. A year down the road, maybe more, that book might be just the thing you need. Maybe you need to grow into it; maybe it needs to grow into you. But you're not going to discover that connection if you pretend it never happened. Anything can drive you away from reading—but only a book will bring you back."

-Peter Rubin, Wired Magazine. It's Never Too Late to be a Reader Again.

No matter how long the hiatus, you're just one book away from reconnecting with reading.
