I love this! I always loved learning about mythology in school and the Song of Achilles is what REALLY made me fall in love with it. What a beautifully told story right? I thought about it for months after I finished it. And I, too, picked up Circe after Achilles.

I used to be exactly like this! It wasn’t until I figured out my favorite genre (fantasy) that I began to not be able to put books down. Though I agree with the other commenters - there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing now either. Curious as to what kinds of books you read :-)

This!! Same. More and more fiction now than ever before. It’s true escapism.
