Okay since this thread is about reading. Figured this would be the place to ask. Anybody has a problem when it comes to focusing when it comes to reading? Like seriously, i cant read a book for longer than 10 pages without getting distracted whether my body starts getting jittery and i feel i have to get up or end up doing something else or falling asleep. I heard that thats symptoms of ADHD.

Currently reading `The Eye of the World: Book One of The Wheel of Time` from the library.

Book is so damn long that it could be three separate books. Already bought book 2 and ripped it into calibre, so I will get my stats up in KOReader before I potentially pivot away instead of reading book three

Looking for some horror books to read; I might start the haunting of Hill house.

My girl was looking at my bookshelf the other day and noticed I had Kafka lol, I dead ass don't know who that is. My mom just got me some philosophy books when I was kid because I used to think that shyt was so cool.

• The art of war, Sun Tzu
• The Tibetan book of the dead, the manuscript of the Bardo Thodol
• Candide, Voltaire
• Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka

I don't remember reading them, but she said I was obsessed with these books as a kid.

The only one of those books that wasn't required for us was Watchmen. Is that the comic book? That shyts crazy they made a comic book required reading, although it is a damn good one.

I am on my second pass of Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It's really good. The audiobook is amazing.

My English teacher that year was a real one, he knew the only way to get everyone really engaged was by adding a graphic novel.
