I’ve never been a huge reader but reading through the Hunger Games books for the first time (im a huge fan of the films) however has gotten me more into reading. I have some issues of re-reading compulsion, particularly with dialogue. I enjoy reading a lot dispite that my re-reading is annoying and is a habit I’m trying to break. My pace when reading I feel is not that that slow but this re-reading is clearly holding me up.
Well you specifically said you’re rereading passages, that is slowing you down but it makes 20 pages in an hour make total sense! Are you rereading bc you enjoy the passage so much or bc your attention drifts off? I reread passages when I am seriously enjoying a book or even when I need to try double check do I get the subtle meaning here or there. Keep doing that that’s totally cool! If you’re rereading bc your attention span is drifting off don’t worry that will improve over time… your attention span is just a muscle that needs to strengthen and you will get there by just keeping your reading routine 😊 happy reading!!
