When I started reading fic, I read a lot less books. I get a lot of my non-fiction online too. Every couple of years I go through a phase and read a few, but compared to how much I read way back when... Of course, I found fandom pretty early in my teens, so life might have impacted my reading time anyway.
I'm not a big Jane Austen fan, but I have a friend who LOVES her. I've given it a few tries, but I may try again in the future. I didn't like the Scarlet Letter the first time I started to read it, but later when I had to read it for school, it was one of the assigned books I actually enjoyed.
Actually, this reminds me I need to try and get back to my own little self-care routine that involves books. This is probably the third time I've suddenly realized I haven't done it for months. Lol. Turns out with Lush bath products, a book and/or music (occasionally a show), and a bathtub caddy/tray, baths go from being boring and impossible to read in to being great me-time. It's definitely worth the extra mental focus it seems to give me the next day. Sometimes I find it easier to write afterwards too.
