Help me Veeky Forums. I can hardly read anymore. I can barely focus on anything, even YA books are so difficult to finish. I tried to go steady with a few pages a day but I'm not improving. What should I do?

Did you actually read 'well' once? I don't want to sound offensive, i just want to know the situation

>even YA books are so difficult to finish

this can only be a good thing

>what should i do?
meth probably

perseverance user, perseverance

Yes, I used to be able to read 4 500-page books a day when I was younger. But now I can't even finish a chapter. This really hurts, one of my main interests was reading, and now I can't do it anymore.

No meth where I am unfortunately.

But YA novels are very easy to read. If I can't read them, then I can't read the higher-ups.

I try...

audiobooks

think of books as awesome pieces of art like paintings, that always makes me hype and sometimes it can be tiresome but you need to have will of power and discipline

I'm not an auditory kind of guy as well, I lose attention when it's audio.

I'll try that. Thank you.

if ur problem is turning pages then u have no attention on what you are reading. the logical fix to this seems to have someone turn the pages for you. Your attention might waiver in and out but its better than not reading. Maybe you forgot how to read with emotion and just need to be shown how to do that again.
dont be a bitch like

I think you just need a break
It happend with me too, with vidya, literature and movies
Just take a break, probably you'll want to read again a moment or later

>read 4 500-page books a day
No, you didnt. This is an invented memory.

YA books are impossible for me to finnish as well because they don't require any thinking which makes it impossible for me to concentrate.

Pick up something hard which demands your attention.

Not him, but depends on the book for me. I have done 400-500 pages of HST in a day before.

I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on Veeky Forums anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult book or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I read economics and fiction.

-It isn't a race. Reading slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what books are for you to read fast and which aren't.

-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.

-Start with books highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.

FOUR 500 page books is what he said

I would imagine a primary reason for not being able to focus is lack of enjoyment, no?

My advice: don't force yourself to do something you aren't passionate about; less even enjoy.

>not reading 2000 pages a day
i want plebs to leave

try reading incest from Veeky Forums, tasha's brother is a good read. I hardly read if it isnt porn
