Is there a certain way you're supposed to read? I can't

That's because you're a sheeple, your mind and body just go with the constant stream of advertisement, stupid thoughts and cheap entertainment. You probably can't focus on something for more than 5 seconds.

You don't even realize this because for you, your life is playing on semi-automatic. Do a step backwards and evaluate what the fuck you are doing. If you can't focus on books then something is honestly wrong with you and i'm worried.

You have to build up patience. Keep reading, keep at it- even if you have to re-read a sentence, paragraph, or page more than once. Start (pls no bully) with books that you enjoy, that don't feel like as much of a chore to read. That's how you build patience, that's how you become a better reader, imho. Think of your brain like an athlete thinks of their quads.

I can't bully you for being right. OP if you're interested in gangbangs, read about gangbangs. Read what interests you instead of reading what you feel like you "should" read

The part of your mind that concentrates, processes ideas, and retains them, is underdeveloped. It'll improve with practice, but it has to begin with an act of will. Then progress will happen after the habit of reading.

If it is as bad as you say, the moment you comprehend your brain's former inabilities will feel like a revelation, or a man waking from a drunken stupor.

Consider the idea that unexamined life is not worth living.

Audiobooks are cool but they are not literature.
