Make a list so long you never finish it, but show up every day for it: Give yourself a minor degree in true crime or octopuses. Historical biographies, or rock ‘n’ roll bios. Or only Nordic noir, or only Asian sci-fi. Pick a theme for your summer reading and dive into it until Labor Day: Read only books banned in Florida. Rather than burdening yourself with postcard dreams of a beach towel and a book, instead of picturing yourself inside a portrait of lazy mornings with a hammock and a Stephen King, toss out the bougie old summer reading mirage (has it ever been attainable for more than an hour or two?) and replace it – as I do, to the detriment of family, TV and sleep – with a small project.
