How do I regain the ability to read bros? I used to be able to read dense philosophical works back in school but I can barely concentrate on fiction for more than 10 minutes. I can't remember the last time I got "lost in a book"

Do you play video games still? If so, quit videogames, or at least the ones which are a commitment from start to finish. Worked for me. Just working on retention.

Have a room that is just for reading. It can be a pantry or laundry room, it just has to be distraction free and lets you associate it with reading.
Also turn your phone off.

Use the dictionary every time you need it and read the sentences slowly and carefully.

Can jannies ban these posts already? Imagine if there are posts on /tv/ asking how to watch movies and /mu/ how to listen to music.
