lol @ me
I was kind of mentally scolding myself for how little I read these days, how I just don't have the discipline or interest the way I once did, etc etc.
I also only wrote a little on my dissertation today because I spent almost the whole day reading five different scholarly articles that were each generally around 30 pages. And they were interesting, but by the end I didn't want to read or write anything else (okay, except one extremely pertinent article my university doesn't give me access to :|).
Dear self: maybe, just a possibility, but maybe you don't have the discipline or interest in reading outside of academia the way you used to because you're in academia. And in literature specifically, which necessarily involves a metric ton of reading things.

(I could try to fish out that article for you with my own accesses, if you like? Can't guarantee I'll be able to get it either, but worth a shot.)

The article is "Violent Brothers, Deadly Antifeminism, and Social Suicide in The Revenger's Tragedy and The Duchess of Malfi" by Emily Stockard.
(My university shrunk their number of subscriptions over budget cuts and it's been slightly painful!)
