For years and years now, I've only been interested in reading

Maybe you have that condition where you struggle to visualise. I watched something once about people with it. They still read books but only non fiction.

Do you have difficulty imagining scenes in your head?

Kind of, actually, yeah. Do you remember what it's called?

My background is in music and film, so I mostly get narrative experiences from those spheres rather than literature. That's not to say that I'm disinterested in books - I want to enjoy literature because I know it has so much to offer - but I really struggle to get into fiction. I become totally bored after the first couple of pages, which is odd, because if I'm interested in a subject I could easily read two or three nonfiction books on it.

Cool, thanks. This looks interesting, but it's definitely not the case.
