Who has this problem with books?

@anon8411913 Yep! I start and don’t finish books all the time.

I got a really cool looking book from the library today though called “The Serpent King.” I really hope I finish it. It’s technically a YA novel but it deals with some very timeless and adult themes. It’s also a lot of teacher’s picks.

Yeah before psychosis I used to be really fastidious and deadset on reading one book at a time and finishing a book from start to finish before starting a new one.

I read non-fiction books The Dawn Of Everything, Amusing Ourselves to Death, With The Falling of the Dusk, Dismantling Global White Privilege & more, and fiction book Brave New World – in this way.

Now I also experience these too:

I have both of these nowadays but i don’t see it as a problem, just as a change in reading style and preferences

I also have this sometimes with reading essays and articles online.

For me now I just jump to a random page in a book and see if I like it and read. I did this with Noam Chomsky’s interviews book “How the World Works” and other books. I highlight in random pages and it’s much more enjoyable knowing that I don’t have to commit to just one book at once

Yeah, I started to compose the wrong answer, looked again, and… OH. Whoops.

I’ve been doing that. I recently started a book called Tom Clancys Splinter Cell though and it’s such a basic and entertaining book that I have hope I’ll actually finish it.

I don’t have the first problem. I finish all the books that I start.

I read lots of books at once but I don’t consider it a problem as I finish them all.
