Books?

[Negeen]

How many of you are still able to enjoy a good book? I find that I can't remember them as well as I'd like.

Not as much, I have finite constraction levels, and thus I often just find I'm just too tired. Though I am slowly reading more, I used to be a night owl but each time I ramp up slightly what I'm doing I end up sleeping 10-12hrs at least, and being exhausted until I ajust

I love reading, bu. can read a book then. Few months later I might pik it up and read it again but not realise I read it till the plot becomes mor apparent.

I hav to concentrat and I can tell when m past it because I read the same line over an over which is how I was just after the BI

I've never really read much other than textbooks :/

[Negeen in reply to B_S_A]

Lol. I don't blame you. When I was in college, I didn't either.

Hi Negeen , I used to love reading true stories I have loads of books still waiting to be read !!!!! But I just can't concentrate anymore , I'm better off with a magazine I'm afraid x

I've written one or two, does that count?

[Negeen in reply to BaronC]

Baron, that more than counts!

Reading and writing were a huge part of my life, but since my injury both are very hard indeed. Reading is really hard because I forget what I have just read...sometimes I can make it through a whole paragraph before the train derails and other times I don't make it to the end of a sentence. Sadly the memory probs kiboshed the writing too and I had to find another calling... I still have the draft MS I was working on at the time of my injury and I refuse to give up on the idea that maybe one day I will finish it....I'm not dead yet LOL

[Negeen in reply to iforget]

One day you will!! But yes, I know what you mean I could read three pages and not know what I read also.

[iforget]

Three pages would be bliss...maybe one day

Why don't you try audio books like I do as I, like others struggle to retain any information and process the story of the plot.

Thanks

This is going to sound crazy but i can no longer read a book but I can read an e book on my tablet (kindle) i have over 200 books in the tablets memory

why I cannot read a paper book I have no clue

mind you i cannot concentrate to watch tv

I love reading! It's the only thing that helps me switch off and give me some sanity in between my stressful job and hectic home life. Just finished reading The Happiness Mindset by Brandon Stanberg. Loved it.
