I can read a Harry Potter book in a day, but reading something with a denser style and actual substance takes fucking long, and is exhausting, especially informative or interesting nonfiction. After reading 30 minutes of a book like The Secret Teachings of all Ages, I can continue to read attention-wise, but my brain actually takes in and understands stuff much more slowly, up to the point that its kinda useless to read on.
Its better to actually understand what you read, but it makes the process of finishing a book take soooo fucking long.

What do?

get up, make some tea, read a poem, watch an episode of beavis and butthead, stare out of the window, and after 10 minutes head back to your desk. that's what i do.

Talk to someone about what you read, it'll illuminate the depths of the ideas and give you a deeper appreciation and motivation. In ideal circumstances, you'll be able to predict the direction of the book (or provide divergent ideas for comparison) which will make it easier to read. If you dont have a friend, try journaling
