I'm on my 11th novel of 2017 (it wasn't a resolution; I just happened to be on a long train journey with nothing to do early in January). Before that, I probably had read 11 over the past three or four years total.

I still read - online essays and articles and such. But not fiction novels, with a few exceptions.
I didn't like it, but I think, looking back, I just never felt settled in my life during that time. I was moving between cities and countries, switching jobs, starting my career, worrying about money and such things...I'm only now getting back to some semblance of a settled life. I'm not sure if there was a direct correlation, but it feels like a good narrative anyway.
Yeah, travel can do that to a person. I want to say that when I moved states back in 2003 that I didn't read much until 2006, but that was also a time where I temporarily switched careers as well.

Not worrying about it as much as just realizing that I've never really gone through such a spell

Mine's been more work-related, but I do recall grad school exhaustion too well even after 20 years *NM*

What are you doing at work? My ability to read waxes and wanes with what I'm doing.
