I grew up as a lucky child, i had a great childhood, filled with lots of those books for progressing readers when you're young, loads of fairy tales etc, i used to love my reading and my focus used to be really good. I have BPD, autism and extreme anxiety attacks and being misdiagnosed with ADHD at 15, round about the time my mental health peaked I struggled to focus properly, on anything. You know how it is, and I was sucked into the void when I had my first phone for my 16th birthday. I am 20 years of age, and I recetnly finished 2 books since i was 14 ( i know, bad right?) but the euphoria I get sucked into books and storys feel amazing, but I have to read a chapter a couple of times each time to understand the whole book unless its like, those cringy young adult books ( i do enjoy them though, sometimes). I recently bought a couple of books which look like they won't fry my brain, however i really really want to get into modern classics that are easy to read. Sorry if i sound like the autist. But what do you recommend?

Did I use the word premise correctly?
>Societal attraction on the premise of appearance is a direct measure of your own biological fitness.

it's a confusing sentence.
you can do better to express what you want

Yes. Are you writing for Edge Magazine?
>>
no
also "societal attraction" sounds awkward and wrong, even if I know what youre trying to say, sort of.

So then I said we need to build a wall, to keep out the Mexicans. And I meant it, I really believed it. We did. Not so long after I started reading all these news articles saying I was a racist and all. That killed me. It really did. There's nothing racist about wanting to protect your country. Nothing. I mean it, really.

Does it actually make sense to read epic poems rather than listen to them being recited? Like with the Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, etc. they were traditionally memorized by bards and recited to crowds with musical accompaniment. So would it not be more authentic to experience them through audiobooks rather than actual print?

They were edited when written down. It's not authentic oral poetry.

Enjoyable, but it's more about friendship than about war, Catch 22 or Slaughterhouse 5 are pretty great imo

The Unknown Soldiers by Vainno Linna
Matterhorn
Storm of Steel and On the Marble Cliffs
Sharpe Novels
The Erl King
The Siege of Krishnapur
The Underdogs by Azuela
All You Need is Kill
The Black March
Life and Fate
On Killing, The Black Jacobins, and Shake Hands with the Devil are good non-fic that arent direct war histories.

Why do I have the attention spam of a democrat at a children's party?
I write 6 words and then I'm on 4chan shitposting for 10 minutes and watching an YouTube video.
I tried those "block everything and write" softwares but I know how to bypass them all.
What is wrong with me, /lit/? Is my body telling me that I'll never be the next James Joyce?

Have you tried not procrastinating? Works wonders senpai. Just a thought.
>>
you seem to have such a weak will and work ethic that you probably need someone who will beat your ass and physically MAKE you work
>>
You "can't write" because you tell yourself that you cannot. You are directing your will against your self. You, rather, own your will and your "writing."
