   From my personal experience changing styles of books you are reading also helps. E.x. if you are reading 3 books in a row about spirituality that might become boring. Mix and match books, read a fiction book and then non-fiction, change topics etc. It happened to me at least once during the year one book reminded me so much of the previous one that I just stopped reading it (however I plan to come back to it later).

  +### New problems
   
   This year is already one of the best in terms of reading for me personally. I don't think I've read that much since middle school. However 10 months after starting reading again I noticed several new problems.

  So what should I do?
  
  ## New solutions
  
  I started thinking in the last couple of days about the problem of forgetting. And I think there are at least several points to be made here.

  Those were my first years reading. I think this stage was mostly about adventures (I read some others more serious books at the time, but I think they were rarer at this period). For me, it lasted from 1993 till 1997-98. I would call it “Harry Potter” stage. However, I have never read or watched Harry Potter because the first book was published in 1997 and it came few years later to Ukraine. By that time I was mostly done with this genre.
  
  ### Middle school
  
  During this stage, I read most of the things we were reading for the school program but sometimes on my own schedule. A lot of works I read before the program because again I had a lot of free time on my hands and some I discovered outside of school (e.x. at my parent's or grandparents' library). In this period I read mostly classics of French, Ukrainian, and Russian literature (XVIII and XIX centuries), I read also some science fiction for the first time and I read a decent amount of books about WWII, about partisans, about resistance. I read also other historian adventures about cossack, pirates etc. Occasionally I would pick up some random books like Viktor Suvorov's explanations of Soviet and world history of the XX century.
  
  The main theme during this stage was history (which I enjoyed a lot) and some adventures but by real people.
  
  ### First transition
  
  During my high school years I moved to the big city, it was the beginning of 00’s years, the country was very different. We had a lot of TV channels, radio stations, cinemas. There were a lot of things one could do after school. The environment changed dramatically. I also lost some personal interest in books. I still read most of the works for the school program, but it was rare that I would find a book that I would read with the joy for few hours per day. Basically, my taste and interests changed but I wasn’t able to find a replacement yet. School program was of no help. We read usually something I wasn’t interested that much at the moment. Topics were unappealing to me.
