I love a good story, being taken to a place where reality fades away and wonder and excitement are the norm. As I wandered the isles and looked at the interesting titles and scoffed at the blatant PC push infesting new titles I came to the realization that my entire reading life was solely derived from my desire to escape from reality instead of facing it. I am still processing this experience and trying to sort it out. I have escaped from reality for far too long.

Hobbies change.

Find something else you enjoy. You still had a good time with your old hobbie of books, so keep them, and move on.

Speaking for myself.

I used to like marvel comics in the 90's. They started to get shit in post 2000 but I still put up with it. Then all the SJW bulshit was the straw that broke the camels back.

I still have my 90's comic collection. But I have moved on to other hobbies that I enjoy.

What I have learnt from it, is that it wasn't just the medium of comics that I enjoyed - but the attitudes and ideas that were present in the medium.

Maybe you are finding the ideas and attitudes that you used to like in books.. in the real world instead now?
