/lit/,

how do you not get burned out from reading? For example I try to read as many as books I can but sometimes you get confused or burned out or lost.

How do you deal with this, /lit/?

how can anyone give you advice on the matter when everyone has different stamina? bloom can read through a fucking library and not get up to take a shit, his colon just packs it in like a bag of holding until he's done.
if you're burning out then maybe read for less periods of time and more variety. don't just do one book at a time, nigga, you can hold multiple narratives in mind at a time, nigga. just close the book and walk away, niigga.

Use the 25min read - 5min break method.
I sometimes walk on my treadmill while reading or I do reps with as a break.

Some books requiere time to process.
Forcing through just makes you stop thinking them through, leaving you with less than if you had taken a break. Mainly with academic books, obviously, but some narrative demands a bit more than you're used to.

Respect your material.

I don't really know about adderall, we haven't legalized meth in my country. Learning new stuff isn't just the time it takes to consume the words, it takes thinking about it, discussing it, applying it, and so on.

That's why you have so many professors and theoretically smart people who can't make simple deductions or syllogisms. All they know is blotches of knowledge floating in a sea of selfpitty and binged tv show

Maybe try and find a dictionary or glossary of terms from ancient Babylon. There's probably something online.
