Read them and buy them in physical form. Don't just feed the coffers of Amazon. I have read two backs in the last two days: Paul Laird's
"Birth and Impact of Britpop: Mis-Shapes, Scenesters and Insatiable Ones" in hardback and Sally Rooney's novel "Normal People" in paperback. I'm currently reading a book about female Scottish painters.
The article makes some good points about rekindling a love of reading, but in small spaces like mine it’s not just about motivation — it’s a logistical puzzle. When your bookshelf becomes a stack of teetering towers and you’re living in a rabbit hutch of an apartment, the next “reading goal” becomes “figure out how to store all these books.” Anyone else battling space constraints for your library at home?
