Perfectly normal mang. It took me an hour to get through a seven page preface a few weeks ago because I was thinking about the ideas, challenging them and writing down my thoughts.

Find what works for you.

For me, at least with some articles and stuff like that, I've tried to stop reading some sentences and paragraphs over and over as often as I normally do and noticed my comprehension is still just about the same if not slightly better in some cases. You have to experiment and take things on a cases by case basis.

Definitely write down your ideas, challenge them, and perhaps take some notes or re-summarize what you learned afterwords. Dwell in it. It's how you learn and grow as a human being.
