Is it normal that i don't enjoy reading anymore?

When I was young and in high school, I read books all the time. Now, I don't enjoy them and they don't engage me. I try to pick interesting topics but nothing satisfies me. It's hard to read more than 100 pages and I have so many unfinished books now. I'm 19 and I study engineeing so I don't have much time anyway. It's just that what used to be pleasurable to me now feels like a chore.

    Books are just one of many formats for information, opinions, and entertainment. There's nothing special about them except for new book smell and old book smell. Maybe audiobooks and podcasts would be a better fit for your current lifestyle?

    Books no longer entertain you.
    Try reading more smarterer books, like Dr. Seuss.
