Is this normal or are my comprehension skills just poor? The first half of a book I’ll read 20 pages an hour and the second half I can get up to 40 per hour. Its the first book I’ve read by this author and it almost feels like I’m trying to decipher a different language. I have never been the best with comprehension and have ADHD so I have found myself re reading pages constantly.
Do you read a lot of literature? I’d not recommend that as an intro to the author, though I started with one of his lesser known works anyway and found it to be even more stylized and in his voice. I don’t find him any more or less challenging than other authors of the same skill, though. Reading Blood Meridian after Lincoln in the Bardo was a breath of fresh air lol. It’s more dense and slower to digest, sometimes shocking in its brutality, so take your time.
What do you normally read? Maybe break it up with some light nonfiction or something.
