>The Colour of Magic
As much as people say that reading Discworld in order of publication is a bad idea, and that starting with Guards! Guards! is the ideal, The Colour Of Magic and The Light Fantastic are great.

Nicomachean Ethics and Don Quixote, but that fell apart when the reading group died. I suppose I need to pick it back up and read some more, was good.

Old enough, unironically I think I've only finished one this year, which was 1984. I finished it today. If I have read anything else I can't fucking remember. Worried I am losing my mind. Considering killing myself before it gets worse.

i find it difficult to read after i’ve spent a lot of time reading articles/social media posts online. i feel like it’s information overload or something and i trick myself into thinking it’s just easier for me to read an hour of twitter or whatever instead of a few chapters of a book. try to cut down on what you read online and spend that time on a book instead
