A new year often signals a fresh TBR (To Be Read) pile. It brims with good intentions, guilt divided evenly between Christmas gifts begging to be addressed and the books from 2023 you thought you had time to read but didn’t. But — of course — reading shouldn’t be a chore, an endless game of catch-up or a slog powered by a sense that you’re missing out on the best of the year’s crop.
In the wonderful phrase of a friend, perhaps it’s time to set an anti-resolution instead — to settle into a slow classic, and give yourself the gift of unrushed reading. Spending time in the pages of just one book for months, sometimes years, is a rarity in our hurried age.
The reason you can’t read fast might be dyslexia. I am incapable of reading fast too, and after i got diagnosed with ADD and dyslexia it all just made sense
I forgot to mention it, but I have ADD too, so that is definitely a big contributing factor!
Yeah, it probably is. Hopefully it all makes a bit more sense now
