I found I read even more, partly attributable to the pandemic. Being home all the time with oodles of free time moved me from 3-4 books a week to 5-7, and even now after that free time is cut back, I am around 4-5. I am much less patient with poorly written or unengaging books though, I used to fully embrace sunk cost fallacy, now I'll just decide something isn't engaging me and drop it.
I do find it easier to find interesting books now, I'll find a decent author I hadn't read before and then just get their whole back catalog on Kobo or Kindle. I used to reread all the time because it was too much trouble to always be getting new physical books, now it's literally find a book, buy it and download it in a couple minutes, day or night.
And I'm older than Locke! Frankly it's surprising they even had literacy when I was a kid.
