Mine’s The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. Thick books never stopped me from reading nonstop before, but there are entries in the book that just has me stopping and taking time to mull things over.
Also, sharing this excerpt: “Not to be sentimental, as I sound, but why the hell are we conditioned into the smooth strawberry-and-cream Mother-Goose-world, Alice-in-Wonderland fable, only to be broken on the wheel as we grow older and become aware of ourselves as individuals with a dull responsibility in life?”
The Autobiography of Malcolm X - I started it at the beginning of September and am not yet halfway through. Trying to finish it before the end of the year, though.
It’s very good and interesting, just a bit denser than what I usually read in physical book form. I find it hard to sit and read a lot of it. Trying to read at least 1 chapter between every other book.
That’s not very long, though. In 2020, before I started making a real effort to get back into reading, it took me 6 months to read Good Omens (which I loved). And in my college years, it took me 4 years to read the ASOIAF series.
