As someone with both, it's either feast or famine, depending on how interesting my brain finds it.
I read nearly cover to cover the National Electric Code because I wanted to rewire my house and I found the standards fascinating.
I could not read through my AWS training materials because AWS is boring AF.
i love how it wasnt a catchy book, romance, or whatever that peaked your interest.
It was the National Electric Code.
The national electric fucking code.
this is autism in full effect.

Lol yup. Peak 'tism moment.
I don't know if I want to buy a kilo of isopropyl bromide mr chemical man, but I am interested, why should I?
Piqued your interest, FYI.
