Gun Snake

dont talk to gun snake

Drops: human teeth
Three things which have helped friends increase their reading (as in, number of finished titles per year, or pages per week):

- Carry a book everywhere with you. I do it myself, and with an e-reader that becomes much easier. Got a ten minute wait for the bus? That's a couple of pages you can bash through. Arrived a bit early for your hair appointment? Crack open that book and have a read. It's also a good way to wean yourself off mindless scrolling, if that's an issue.

- Short story collections. A few dozen pages (or less!) and you're done, but the brain still gets the good feelings from Finishing Something, and they're easier to ration out. Plus, anthologies can be a great way of discovering new authors to check out.

- This is me exposing myself as a filthy casual, but: comics and graphic novels. There are pictures! There are words! A story is entering your eyes and brain and you're moving your attention across the page and hey some of them are pretty drat good it turns out!
