Anyone else have trouble reading for a period of time?
I feel like I have 'readers block'; like writers block, but I'll find that I either struggle to read more than 1 or 2 pages at a time, or I will reread the same paragraph several times before giving up. This started in 2015 and persisted until now. I'm trying to get back into reading with Ubik at the moment, about halfway through which makes me happy.

I think the analogy to writer's block is a good one, yes, I've had this experience. I think you have to power through and settle for suboptimal comprehension, until you're back in the swing of absorbing what you read.
I read a few pages and then shitpost on /lit/ for at least 20 minutes.

3. Short prose.
4. Poetry.
5. Get a gf, you faget.
6. Last resort: write something.

Read this. No seriously, try it. It's a very good book written in an original style and easy to read. It's sort of like a long poem that you can start and drop wherever and whenever. It's subdued and subtle and gentle and it has a lot to give you.

Sometimes I do, depending on my mood and time of day. I try to read between 10am and 2pm because afterwards my attention for reading really dwindles. I also try to read 20 pages as a minimum so if I fancy reading more later, I can take a break and go for another 20 pages afterwards.
Today I've only really managed 7 pages of Dracula though. So far I love it but I know I have other things I need to keep on top of too.

How often do you masturbate, OP ? Masturbating is like reading. It's a great think that brings pleasure and self fulfillment, but sometimes when you're working too much you can't find time for it or proper focusing. It's like listening to good music, too.
