Do you listen to music? Do you have a drink on hand? Do you read it lying down or sitting at a table? Etc I personally used to do it (when I read mostly physical books) lying down before I slept, that being harder now with school, now I mostly listen to audiobooks while I’m doing something or playing a game, and for school I’ll probably listen to some instrumental music (many of which hip hop, I’d suggest instrumental versions of Aesop Rock, El-P, and Diabolic among others)

    I struggle a fair bit with reading, so I typically read in my reading nook with good lighting while wearing noise-cancelling headphones (with no music) as I live in a noisy place and am very sensitive to noise. I am usually only able to read 30-60 minutes a day, and I’m a slow reader, so it takes me a while to get through most books. I try to get all my books as physical books, as I find that easier to read than on my e-reader for some reason, and I find that I am unable to focus on audio books.
