Recently I have started consuming more audiobooks than normal books. I actually prefer to listen to a book while I wash the dishes or commute or do some other trivial task than sit down and read and I feel like I get the same enjoyment and knowledge from it.

I cannot focus anymore. I often catch myself thinking about other things while my eyes simply look at the letters. For this reason, the book I'm currently reading is carried everywhere with me inside my backpack but I can't bring myself to read it, knowing that I won't pay attention to the story
How the fuck do I get my concentration back?

I enjoyed John Green's books.
I skipped most of the Greeks and just read Islamic philosophers instead
I can't read logical notation and refuse to learn it.

I have red (and enjoyed) Pokémon fanfics when I was over 20.
Same for Portal, Half-Life, and L4D fics.

I unironically think the first books of ASOIAF are good.

I would like to read (or write) fanfics if I wasn't so afraid of my own words.

I enjoy anime a ton, but I'm a prose snob and have never been able to read more than a chapter or two of a light novel. Despite that fact, I maintain a massive digital library of light novels which I act as though I'll one day be able to enjoy, when deep down I know they're even more worthless than the shitty anime I watch and my capacity for reading shitty prose has actually declined over my lifetime. I also do the same for warhammer books, star wars novels and a few other long running series. Even in middle school I couldn't read them because "the words were too simple and boring" and my autism has only increased, so there's no way I'll ever finish one.

I stop reading a lot of ways half way through.
I've read a lot of books and I read at least 50 pages of philosophy a day, ideally.
I feel really, really bad when I don't get that reading done.

I recently bought two Jung books and Écrits, and still have some parts of Deleuze unread; and a lot of others books I've only read half way. I learn stuff from all of them, but I get bored most of the way in and only finish books I really like. Luckily many books like these are structured as a collection of essays so I'm not missing out on anything structure wise, but I fret missing some important part hidden somewhere.
I always finish novels and well written books because they're actually fun to read. This is a pleb take, unfortunately, and I'm aware of it.

Not that anon, but thanks for mentioning this, I'm really enjoying it. The prose is reminiscent of Kathe Koja's Poppy series, which I liked and have been struggling to find similar media.
