Has reading stuff on the Internet almost ruined anyone else's reading ability? I have to force myself to read more (even when I find the book interesting) instead of faffing about and getting distracted.

I wasn't like this when I was younger.

IF I gather the motivation to actually sit down and read, I'm able to do so for hours on end, all the while making notes and observations. But most of the time I just shitpost on /lit/ and browse comic books (Lapham and Ito recently) while listening to music.
