This. It's very frustrating at first because you keep zoning out and having to reread things over and over. Suddenly you look up and you realize you've read 10 or 20 pages in an hour. How did you get this stupid?

But this is how you get smarter: Keep doing things correctly no matter how frustratingly long it takes. For me, I learned this process first by self-teaching Mathematical Analysis via Rudin. To some extent reading a math textbook like Rudin was a better way to learn this lesson, because each section builds directly off the previous sections. If you get impatient and don't fully understand what you've read, you immediately catch yourself.

So don't worry if reading takes you a very long time. This is normal. It will get better. Vidya, tv, internet culture has sapped you're ability to read. You are literally relearning how to read. And good news: When you get a little better and don't have to continually reread stuff, books will flow better and so the intellectual and emotional impact will be way greater.
