How do I actually read more? Like how do force myself to read a book. I have some cool books I'd like to read but it's hard to choose it over say a video game. I also have ADHD.

I got a kindle for Christmas and have read more in the last few months than in the last decade. I think it being a screen kinda helps, and also being able to download books instantly instead of having to go to the library or a bookstore.
Best way is to time box it, especially if you're not accustomed to reading for long periods of time. You could start by carving out just 30 minutes of focused reading before you let yourself get into gaming sessions, which will give you a sense of when you start to feel fatigued (you may end up wanting to read longer). For me, making it a mission helps me focus better at least
I don't know who that is, but that might actually check out. I have a bookshelf full of books that i looved as a teenager :D i just keep them for the memories of enjoying them:P
I find this attitude chilling.
Right? That level of control seems downright psychotic.
If you have more books than bookshelfspace, then than tells me we will be friends.
Two copies of "Heading home with your newborn"?
They must have had twins.
Godamn, I feel bad about the one book I'm reading on top of the next book "I may or may not read."
Bang ! BOOM! CRASH!!
