I tried reading Inferno but it was too hard.
I was watching American Psycho on Netflix and it was really good and very funny. But they removed it when I was half way through, I took a break from watching it and it was gone!
so I've decided to read the book.
is the book good?
will I have trouble?
every time I read I get disoriented and forget where I am on the page.
and sometimes I'll end up reading the same sentence like five times.
also I'll forget things really fast.
Is my being stupid do to being black or lack of practice? will I get better?
and when I read naked I keep getting horny and going on /gif/ then after a few nuts I'm too tired to read more, solutions? (this is probably my biggest issue)

Seems like you really don't know how to focus, probably due to over extensive use of screens. Try to force yourself to read it

I don't know man.
when I see a hot girl in public I feel pretty focused.
When I'm watching anime I don't get distracted. When I read manga everything is fine.
also I can read your post fine.
a book looks like a word gang bang.

Maybe it's because it isn't captivating you enough or you feel like it's a chore. Maybe just set a limit, like 1 or 2 chapters a day.

The book is pretty different and I would say that many will find it tedious and not worth reading. Some people like BEE but I think he's a hack, people only know him because of the movie.

But the answer is always yes, read whatever you enjoy. Read anything you like as long as it keeps you reading. I would recommend something less fuckin gay than American Psycho, like Watership Down or something but you do you.

Try to recall what you read a few times after you read it. Also if you're reading fiction for fun then it shouldn't matter all that much, unless you want to study the book or read non fiction. Just relax, enjoy the story and if there is like a name of a character you forgot just look it up.
If you're talking about zoneing out, I know that feeling and it happens to me too, usually it's due to other stuff that's occupying my mind or I am not feeling it.

>> No.15944352

You have no attention spawn. It will get better with time if you keep reading. Start with easy books, such as YA or genre fiction and force yourself to read for 15 min every day, then 30, then an hour.
Or, you know, just find another excuse to keep your brain rotting.
Also, you can read mangas and 4chan just fine because they don't require a constant stream of thought, they offer you short fragments.

Just when you feel chill and relaxed I guess. Reading gives you far less dopamine than other media, while for example jerking off is instant gratification. I guess you kinda have to set the mood, get a nice drink ready maybe coffee or tea, sit in a comfortable chair and just read.
Reading gets easier when it's part of your habits, but making it a habit is hard.

It's called accentuate speech.

>>15943877
I heard the book is decent. Don't worry about getting lost and if you forget things try to make notes or just go back and reread things. It should get better the more you read. I not sure how to solve your masturbation problem. Cold showers might help. Or just don't read naked.
