Help me please.

sometimes I reach a point where I am trying to read because I want to 'have read' the book, not because I find it or the information I'm getting enjoyable or worthwhile.

If that's the case, then read something entirely different from what you "want" to be reading. Usually I'm just fatigued by drier, lengthier books on serious subjects, and so I read a shitty pulp scifi novel or a good mystery or something just to remember its not difficult to thumb past a few hundred pages.

Don't "try too hard" to go back to reading regularly, or read books because you feel obligated to. Start with what you don't have to teach yourself to enjoy and then you may find yourself more motivated to get into something new

Thank you anon, but even if I do enjoy a book, I just cannot do it. I have no idea why.

there's NO reason short of being terminally ADD that you can't sit down and read for longer than a few minutes. You're just not used to it, no matter how many times you tell yourself "you can't" it doesn't mean anything. There's no special trick to focusing, just doing it.

Now what the fuck are you still doing here when you could be reading? Start now. If you make one more post in this thread I'll know you're a QUITTER and not worth wasting time on.

What are you waiting for, open the book and assert your dominance over it

hmmm....

You definitely have the time to read. How many hours do you spend watching Television or shitposting on 4chan? How many hours do you spend with your family? Cut them out. We are your new family now, you fucking pleb

i'm the same. it's because i don't see any real value in reading (fiction) anymore. it has nothing worthwile in those books that will add to my live. it's a waste of time. i can read non-fiction without problem. but only if it has new ideas that are challenging my old mindset.
i used to read just for the fun. now reading has become a franatical search for something new or else my brain will completely refuse to take part in that reading thing
