I have noticed multiple times, mostly with longer books but not limited to them, that I tend to enter a state of mind where I just want to finish the book as quickly as possible and reach the end. It doesn't matter how much I'm enjoying the text; it just happens subconsciously. Sometimes I spend 3 minutes per page, but as I near the end, it sometimes falls below 30 seconds! Has anyone else experienced this? How do I stop doing it? Or am I retarded and is it over for me?
Read stuff you actually enjoy?

>>23326340If you aren't fully absorbed in the book you aren't enjoying it
>>23326348I don't think I can explain it very well, but I'm enjoying the text, and I do want to read more. However, the further I progress, the faster I read and the more I find myself skimming. I have even tried sfg slop and it still keeps happening.Maybe books just aren't for me....
>>23326366if you are invested in what you are reading, you wouldnt skip anything
What if you read stuff you enjoy instead of forcing yourself to read?
>>23326236>Sometimes I spend 3 minutes per page, but as I near the end, it sometimes falls below 30 seconds!I don't think this is a bad thing, for me this is just a part of being drawn into a book. If a book doesn't get me "zoned in" to that point the further I get into it it's a sign that I'm not really into it.
>>23326499he's talking about skimming pages, not actually comprehending anything
>>23326310Enjoyment doesn't exist
>>23326236>>23326340ok retard, which books?
>>23326613Some of my recent reads:>The Haunting of Hill House>The First Crusade: A New History>Chess Story>The Door Into Summer>Macbeth (reread)>The Death of Ivan Ilyich>The Housemaid's Secret (no comment)>The Mysterious Affair at Styles>As I lay Dying>On Liberty (fell asleep thrice)
>>23326366>>23326236I USED TO BE THE SAME. No the problem isnt what you're reading, ive read some of my favourite books with that feeling. I still have it a little when im reading something quite dry. All i can say is keep reading until you're get through it because it will go. READ CONSISTENTLY
