I have just read one book vaped, 'dune'
I rarely read anymore. used to go trough at least 5 books a week when I was a kid(5 was the max. you could borrow at the library each time and we would usually only go once a week, so I had to make those 5 books last, in vacations the limit was raised and I would also go more often)
but about during the first year of hoghschool I wasn't able to read like I used to anymore, I think this already began the last year of elemetary tough, but at that time I didn't really notice it yet, I thought it was just because I had read most the books in the library and so had to settle for less interesting books.
I preferred thick books since that meant more reading within the limited number of books. could read 700-800 pages n 2 days if the book was interesting/exciting enough.
since the 2nd year of highschool I've practically stopped reading, I did try it a few times with mandatory reading of books for school, but never made it past page 20
I can't focus on it like I used to, used to forget everything around me. my parents could call for dinner without me even hearing it.
a while ago I decided to try if weed could replace that focus, since weed sometimes has a similar focuseffect, but less strong, on other activities.
I read dune, wich I had already read once in my reading-era(I think I read it when I was around 10, before the start of the decline), and was one of the books I enjoyed most, but I had only read it in dutch since I didn't know much english back then.
so I downloaded an english ebook of 'dune'
first book I've finished in years, I did enjoy it, but it didn't have the full magic it had back then, I fear I lost that forever. (also gained a lot in that time tough)
kept a vapebuzz going troughout the reading and that did work well enough to generate a focus, as soon as my focus went away I knew I needed some more vapehits
but since by now I have replaced the time I used to spend on reading on other activities in my free time, ebooks on my laptops read less well as real books and that it still wasn't as magical as it used to be I haven't picked up a 2nd book yet.
this was 1-2 years ago now
this is only counting fiction btw, non-fiction is easier to get sucked into if it's an interesting subject
