idk what the deal is with young people pushing dry and incoherent theory all the time. you'll learn more reading a franzen or lessing novel.

Try reading essay collections or autofiction. It feels more similar to something you’d read online. Also don’t just look up “best books” and stick yourself with something challenging right off the bat. Read something exciting and fun: Steven King, Ira Levin, basically the types of books that get turned into movies.

i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!

to professors after the semester, or people you gave you gifts or hosted you. Good basic stationary is a worthy investment.
