Relatable

Same here.
For me, I stopped when I started to have a lot of required reading at school.
It wasn't fun anymore.
I didn't get the choose the books and I had to read them an analytical way because I'd be tested over it later and/or have to analyze the themes.
I don't hate that I had to do that (I do think, overall, it's beneficial) but it still took the joy out of it.
Wasn't until a couple years out of college that I picked up reading again.
I had forgotten how nice it is--especially when you're just reading for fun and picking stuff that you want to read.
I'll still throw in an 'educational' read every so often because I like to but it's back to being fun again.
