Novels in paperback forms are a stress buster. Usually, readers prefer paperback over digital kindles or reading online. What do you do when you buy your favorite author's latest novel paperback edition, and yet feel lazy to give it a read...? Well, it is certainly a tricky situation!
You some how make your way through the first page, your mind is trying to hard to marginalize distractions and spare time for your hobby. You read the first page about four times, before your brain could grasp the contents in its entirety. You feel drowsy and bored. Guilt takes over. You are disappointed in yourself for not treating your new novel with respect. Then comes contemplation, you wonder, of the author has done an equally brilliant job with this new novel, like he did on the previous ones...? You don't know! You then think, why must I read it without reading reviews about it? What if it's a waste of time? What if you should no have bought the book in the first place? Will the book remain a virgin, much like your other impulse buys, that are now sad and alone in some corner of your book shelf?
Guilt strikes again! If the author could undergo so much trouble in writing the book, then why can't i spare some time simply reading it? Damn! I should just be abandoned from the face of the planet! People like me are a blob on the name of literate population! Why am I even allowed the luxury to buy books of my choice!
After about half an hour of messaging friends that you are busy reading your new muse...
The new episode of Suits is out! Bye everyone, I really gotta watch it!

I go through the same stages. Except for the Suits part.
