I lose interest in books after I buy them.
I have wasted a ton of money due to this… alright, so this is what usually happens: 1) I walk in my favorite book store 2) I read the blurbs of books which seem appealing to me 3) I waste my previous pocket money on them 4) I read a few pages and never pick it up.
Literally 70% of the books in my collection are either half read or catching dust. I believe this has something to do with my atrociously low attention span, but I just cant prove it…
I love reading, and I want to read, but theres nothing that really clicks anymore… dystopian novels (hunger games, Fahrenheit 451, tender is the flesh) have been book turners for me but I cant just keep reading these books if I wanna be a voracious reader, I gotta up my game a bit eventually… and im 17 and already missed out on so many classics other readers my age are familiar with…
I feel like im being too hard or forceful on my self, I dont know how to fix it.
