If you can't read books and you come here every day you've got major problems. |

yeah, i started this one a month ago but after reading the two first parts which were quite redundant, i started the third (bigger) one and it was redundant again, i felt like i was reading three times the same thing -_- ... actually there *are* some books i loved and i could read like 100-200 pages a day, but they're very rare. |

or maybe i just don't know how to find them. |

if THAT's a major problem for you, then everyone has a dozen of major problems!! : ) |

It's true though cause all you realy do here is read, so why not read a book? At least a book can't talk back |

I had to read some stupid books for school about 8 years ago and hated it so much that I haven't read a whole book since... I need space between short bits of text or all the characters start to drift over eachother which makes it pretty much impossible for me to read a book properly :( |

I recommend you read America Psycho as it's dead easy to read and highly un-confusing + amazing Plus it's realy short =o) |

"At least a book can't talk back" > a "living" book which could react to you, which you could discuss with, that would be great : ) well, anyway reading a book is much more "interactive" as watching TV for example, since you can imagine the pictures in your head and read at your own rhythm... that's one of the great things about books - but the thing is, it has to inspire you, i can get into a lot of types of music even if sometimes i need several listens to get into it, but i have more difficulty finding a book which really catches my attention/triggers my imagination/etc. a lot of times i find the style artificial, or cold - this said, i wouldn't like a roman written in spoken language or something like that either, it would probably seem artificial too in another way.... |

||||||||

If you like Terry Pratchet try some Tom Holt - "Expecting Someone Taller" was the one that I liked best. |

How can reading books be any more difficult than reading this message board? At least in a book it follows a cohesive narrative/flow and doesn't just yammer on about usually pointless details or ideas, jumping from one point of view to the other. |

i know exactly what you mean. my mind tends to drift so much that i will often read a paragraph or two and realize that i wasn't paying attention. I was just reading the words but not absorbing the context. then i have to go back and re-read the passage again. it is quite frustrating. i find have a better time of it if the book is something i've read before which is why i've read LOTR and Fahrenheit 451 so many times. but recently, i've been doing more reading, and like any other skill, i have gotten better at concentrating, so it doesn't happen as often as it used to. but if a book really sux, it is like torture to me to try to plow through it. sometimes the frustration feels like waiting for water to boil or waiting for paint to dry, and i just have to do something else, even if i enjoy what i'm reading. |

when i think of this issue again now... i think it's because because i can't control my imagination enough to make it associate with the book that i have problems, more than because of a real lack of imagination... you can imagine lots of things emerging from a single sentence sometimes, but the book makes you have to choose one... very probably a lack of "mental discipline" (i'm such a slacker too). might come from internet/video games culture as well, i don't know. anyway, speaking in general now for people who have difficulty reading books, it definitely is an issue : | |

There is a learning dissability called coding actually blocks out sections of writing for various reasons. In the end the book can be read, but none of it absorbes in. I have a problem, where if I read technical books or text books, and I encounter the same series of words within, say, a page of eachother, I will forget everything in between. So I can't read anything that tends to repeat itself. |
