I stopped reading for maybe a decade when I started post-secondary education. I tried books during that time but it wasn't until finding an author that resonated with me that the interest picked up again. I still mostly only read that author now but I try other authors in between.
Same with video games. I will slowdown or stop for a while but eventually pick it back up again when the right thing comes along.
I have recently discovered that many recipe websites have a clickable link somewhere near the top of the page - before you begin scrolling through all that junk - where you can "Jump to Recipe".
