the weak and ill constituted shall perish.

Take your time anon. Only niggers care about how fast you read.

Hey, whatever works for you. That you get the words and ideas into your head is more important than how they get there.

You can suddenly pick up something and expect to be good at it. Reading is the same way. Basically, you'll have to force yourself.

it gets easier with time and practice, anon. reading is like a muscle and needs to be regularly exercised to avoid rust.

also, while audiobooks are a great gateway to getting back into reading (and have plenty of merit on their own), listening to a book doesn't work the same parts of the brain as reading does. i recommend making the switch back to books once you've built up some stamina

If it works it works
