I feel this. I didn't enjoy reading until i hit my junior year of HS which is when i started IB, but then i hated it again because i had to overanalyze the SHIT out of everything. Just started reading again at 24 because i took a Russian sci fi class and its a LOT better taught. It gets to the meat and potatoes of what things mean rather than pissing about with stupid bullshit that the author didn't care about.

Sometimes i just start skimming and misread everything. But i read everything pretty piss slow which is why it happens. Any tips? Hate how long it takes me to read sometimes.

Age is a cruel mistress, all i'm left with is writing a novel on a windows vista on the weekends due to me being poor
