What are you reading at the moment?

Never Flinch by Stephen King. I just started this one. I'm excited because he brought back Holly Gibney's character again. Hopefully it's good.

I'm wondering if tackling the recent Kings will get my reading mojo back. I hear he got good again. The fact that he now has a recurring character in Holly intrigues me. He used to have characters pop up as cameos or background characters in his novels, but never a real recurring character outside the Dark Tower, but that was an actual series.

I’m reading a collection of wonderfully weird short stories by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and it’s helping take my stories in new directions.

I recently finished reading the 'Foundation' series after watching the TV series. I liked the TV show, but I forgot how wonderful the books are.

How far did you go? There's the original trilogy, then Asimov's additional sequels and prequels from the eighties that tied Foundation to his robot novels, and then the Second Foundation trilogy written by three other sf authors commissioned by the estate after Asimov's death. I read the original trilogy around the time Foundation's Edge, Asimov's first sequel came out but didn't get through all his add-ons let alone the post-Asimov works.

This time, just the original.

I am about to start "Spouse and Victim" by St. Thérèse of Liseux.

Very little, to be honest. Reading doesn't seem to engage me these days, though I am trying. Stories on here seem to be about it.

At least you're trying, as you wrote. I think not being enthusiastic about reading is common. But you're reading stories at SS, so that's something. I've had a couple times where reading didn't appeal to me at all. It took a lot of effort.
