#Reading is always a struggle for me. I don't think it is dyslexia as much as it's a greater motivational/executive functional issue. It's hard to participate in posting my reads since the scale at which I'm able to read a book can last longer than a year, much less a month.
I enjoy it when I can get over the issues long enough to get the content in. And as I've been getting older, I'm looking to poke around at the greater issue to see how to help myself.
Recently, I decided to try a speed-reading technique to see if I can use my limited reading time to push more into my brain. I worked with the RSVP method at about 300wpm (can do faster if I concentrate), and while more content does get consumed,I don't find it very enjoyable. It was interesting to try it,and I might use it more if I can get more comfortable with it.
All that said, I've been working through a re-read of First Shift by #HughHowey and poking around with #JennyLawson 's How to be OK When Nothing Is Ok. Both very good.
