Those who read very little are the ones vulnerable to manipulation

I used to read 2-3 books a week, but between work, kids, keeping my house in order, I have so few contiguous time blocks for leisure reading that I'm lucky if I finish a book in a month or two. I do read a TON of books with my kids while putting them to bed, I just don't count those for myself.

I'm in much the same situation. I bought myself a pocket eBook, and I read so much more, because it's so small and light I can always have it on me. I have a moaan inkpalm I got from aliexpress, but there are a couple more polished ones out now that would probably be worth the extra money.

Maybe you could manage books of short stories. Those can be very rewarding as well.
