Is it normal to take a whole week to read a book like The Catcher In The Rye? My problem with books is that I can't just read them all the way through if I'm given enough time. Like, even if I had all day to read a 215 page book, I would probably only read like 30 or 50 pages of it at a time then I'd put it down because I get tired. Now I'm reading a new book and I find that I'm getting even more worn out than I was with the last one, the book is 1984. Does this just mean that I'm an extremely weak reader? It took me literally only a day to read The Metamorphosis and The Stranger though, because the prose was so terse.

As long as you're actually reading, who cares?

But there is so much to read, and most of them are basic for understanding literature, from history to philosophy.

Look at it this way: there's so much to read that you'll never finish it anyway. So you might as well slow down.

It doesn't really matter. You have to remember that most of the people on 4chan have no lives and rarely go outside.

It doesn't really matter the speed that you read a book. This website is memes, so don't trust any of the advice you read on here.

I used to have this problem. Just force yourself to read for at least a half hour past the point at which you want to stop. After a while it'll get easier and easier. Increase the time.r

I can read for a few hours at a time, but The Illustrated Man is killing me. For some reason the short-story format works my attention span and endurance a lot harder than a normal novel.

the more you read the faster you will be able to read. just read more, friendo.
