I dropped reading for most of my adult life, I had a hard time with it as a child too before I got diagnosed but my symptoms were a lot less severe then too so it was still easier than it currently is. Im poor and don't have health insurance so I'm unmedicated which IS NOT fun lol. But I'm making it (barely) work.
The witcher is a series I've wanted to get into for a while, glad to hear the books are as great as they sound! The games are fantastic so I'm sure the source material only gets better. Mycology is fascinating topic as well. I'm an amateur grower and forager when I can bother to get off my ass. It's a pretty dope subject and an even doper hobby if you're in the market for one.
If you want a fun YouTube recommendation, Crime pays but botany doesn't is a good channel. He's an Italian from Chicago with a lot of passion for ecology and reducing mans influence on nature. Most of his videos are just him walking around the woods and pointing out cool plants lol. But he has this guy on his videos on a semi-regular basis, Adam Rockefeller. His specialty is on psylocibin mushrooms of all varieties and there's some really enlightenimg info on them in those videos. From field identification and testing to genomic sequencing and plenty of other stuff. The guys a savant. He doesn't seem to have a large independent presence online but it's always a pleasant surprise when he shows up. I have a suspicion you would enjoy it
