I'm doing this for all the wrong reasons :(?

To be honest I first read Harry Potter just so I could say I read it. Since then I've read the whole series again and again, each time picking up on new things or hints. Now I adore the series and keep re-reading it.

Just go back to the books which you honestly liked, read them. Find somewhere quiet and comfy, just read and relax, forget that you're reading it and become immersed in the plot. I'm sure you will truly get into books soon, you just need one you're really interested in.

I kind of want to ask... Does it really matter? The main thing is you are reading. Whether you do it for just the book or because you enjoy reviewing it afterwards, I really don't think it matters.

Students force themselves through books all the time because they have to for their studies. They don't necessarily enjoy them. A lot of these students read them just for exam purposes. They still reap the benefits of reading: expanding their minds, developing their critical sense, improving their vocabulary, grammar skills, their communication, etc...

There's nothing wrong with reading books you didn't want to read, or forcing yourself through books you don't like or reading a book you were not interested in because it was given out for free. On the contrary, it's a good thing. You're discovering new books, new worlds, new ways of thinking every single time you read a book that was different from what you normally enjoy.

Saying the only real reason to read is to enjoy it and that doing it for any other reason is doing it for the wrong reasons is denying that books do anything beside entertain.

I don't think you absolutely need to get out of that compulsive collecting phase. You might need to pause and relax a little because you *could* enjoy them more if you didn't rush yourself so much. But there's no such thing as "reading for the wrong reasons". And you'll reap the benefits of extensive reading no matter what your reasons were.

And reviewing books is a huge service to humanity. You're bringing new knowledge to the masses every time you do.

i'm afraid you have it backwards. the everyday clarification for issues is that if we do the incorrect issues for the splendid reasons. Eg. many so-called "humanitarian" initiatives attempt to realize good issues, yet finally end up doing evil. An occasion right that's attempting to alleviate starvation interior the "third international" which outcomes strengthening tyrants and turning out to be super misery between the "helped" human beings. seek for all the nutrition help given to North Korea and Sudan, which outcomes feeding the secret police and slave masters and in uncomplicated terms will advance the misery of the community human beings. Doing the "precise subject for the incorrect reason" is as an occasion a milionaire who builds a lake for his own exhilaration, yet as an ingredient effect creates an irrigation device which advantages ravenous community farmers. helping the farmers became not the point of the action, however the top effect is useful to the entire community

Never allow yourself to go back on one of these reviewing sites, reread the books one by one, starting with the most intriguing. Tell NO ONE that you read the book. Start reading a genre that you usually don't, follow a series of books, et cetera. Just never review, either you will realise that you just don't enjoy books anymore, or you'll start reading normally again.
