Living Kindfully

After Nearly 40 years, I Finally Picked up the Book that I want to Read

I do not usually read fiction. The last 10 years, I think I read no more than three fictions. They are The Martian, Ready Player One and Red Rising. I prefer to read biography and history. The intention is to learn something new that I can implement in my life.

Lately, I find myself losing interest in reading. I could not bring myself to pick up any books that I am reading. I just feel worn. I would rather doom scroll than to read. I thought I have lost interest in reading. A friend suggested that I should read something fun.

I picked up a book that I have always wanted to read but never got around it. It is the Dragonlance's Dragons of Autumn Twilight. This is the first book of a trilogy. I have been wanting to read this book since high school. In one afternoon, I am already 50 pages into the story. The plot line feels cliché, but I love it.

Reading should be fun. There is no need to cramp every single minute of my life for self-improvement. It is okay to have some fun. Just enjoy whatever that you are reading now.
