Reading is an activity that has the potential to be truly wonderful. However, sometimes when we start to read, it may not feel that great. There could be various reasons for this. Maybe the book we've chosen doesn't immediately grip our attention, or the writing style is not to our liking. It could also be that our minds are preoccupied with other thoughts, making it difficult to fully engage with the text. But just because the beginning of a reading experience isn't great doesn't mean we should give up. We can try different books, explore different genres, or simply find a more suitable environment for reading. With a bit of perseverance and an open mind, we might discover that reading can indeed be an incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable activity.
