When I was young I was literally forced to learn to read. Tears, fights, tantrums, summer "reading" camps, traumatic experiences left and right.
Regardless of how I ended up learning how to read, I learned how.
I found as I got older I liked hard sci-fi books, and my family got me a number of novels to read. By this point reading was not very healthy, as I found myself reading until 4:00AM some nights.
By now I still stick to reading physical books, but due to life being busy its hard to find time to read. I think its somewhat of a godsend, as I can easily be pulled into a book so I read far less than I used to, but that doesn't mean I don't like it, I just don't have time to dedicate to reading through books :)

Yeah, I can understand that feeling of getting sucked into a good book. Like anything, it requires a healthy balance! Thanks for sharing :)
