That being said, I think it is valuable to be aware of why I don't read my books.
Currently, I am sometimes reading Baudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation". Despite being a good book that has definitely helped me understand a novel viewpoint on postmodern society, it is written so dense that I can read no more than one of its essays per week.
Then there is "The five invitations". This book is about death and dying and how we can live so we do not regret anything at our deathbed. Reading it sometimes makes me uncomfortable. I do not want to be confronted with death. But then again, I am not the one to decide when I have to face death. Again, this leads to putting the book back in the shelf and reading it only sporadically.
And then there are a bunch of books which i stopped reading when I thought I got the gist of it or which were just not relevant to me anymore.
