I lose interest in a book if I didn't complete it in a single sitting.
I'm a new reader so I'm pretty slow and hardly read 4-6 pages per day before I start getting sleepy, lose my attention span get bored of it (for the time being).
However , as I open the book next day (or the next day or next day) I find . myself not being able to concentrate it at all. Because now it's a new day I've lost interest.
and now I'll move onto the next book because the interest isnt returning and the same thing will happen and all I have in my reaing list now is a collection of unfinished books
also I forgot to mention I'm pretty forgetful so even active reading and highlighting the book won't stop me from forgetting it the next day.
I've read the first chapter of "socialogical imagination" 3 times because I keep forgetting (I've made notes, even lectured myself to understand the book better)
it gets pretty tiring because your brain knows you've read those pages, they're familiar to you you know the vague, general idea but you can't remember anything else
I've only completed metamorphosis and the little prince because they're pretty small, I completed them in one day.
I was doing pretty good with "if cats disappeared from tthe world", I completed 100+ pages the day before yesterday, yes in one sitting. It was a miracle for me ,i was doing so well.
but I lost interest. I tried reading it again yesterday and I can't find it interesting anymore.
