    Is it by any chance the kind of book? I’m mostly the same, but a well written thriller or fanfiction will keep me up all night reading. My favorite book tends to send me daydreaming occasionally, so it’s not exactly a quality or taste thing imo. Those aren’t necessarily the best literature or even my preferred genres, but they just pull me in, which I sometimes want more than the actual story. It does feel a little like junk food though. Especially with fanfiction, because that isn’t always edited super well and it’s easy to internalize mistakes that you see repeatedly.

      I pretty much only read fantasy growing up. I still only try to read fantasy although I did really enjoy “how to build a car” by Adrian Newey. If anyone even sorta into F1 or motorsports at all I would highly recommend that book.

      But yeah mostly fantasy books.
