How do I read a book?
I don't think I have ever successfully read one book from cover to cover in my entire life. I'll spend the entire day reading news articles, posts, interesting historical articles, etc, but there's this weird mental block that happens when I try to read an actual book and I just stop after about a chapter or two.
The idea of finishing a single book seems like some kind of enormous undertaking to me, but I know people who read a book each day. How the hell do they do that? I just can't stay unstimulated for such a long period of time. I'm addicted to doing a dozen things at once on the internet while I read an article, so stopping all of that, sitting down in front of a book, and just reading it sounds impossible.

Sit down and read a portion at a time until you finish. Start with one chapter, then as the weeks go by increase the amount you read. Also, try to stay off the internet for some period of time during the day. It fucks with your ability to concentrate.

I take one of these and then walk away from the computer with the book.

How is it possible for someone not to read a whole book, ever? I know I read fewer books since I'm a working adult and I have the internet, but when I was younger I would easily burn through a few 300+ page, non-picture books a week, or a 1000+ page book in a weekend.
You need to be like Buster in that Arthur episode and find a book/series on a a topic that interests you.
