I have tried reading things I like (science fiction) and technical books, but for some reason I cannot seem to focus and complete them. It is very difficult for me to read more than 15-20 pages after I sit down to read.
I believe reading is a skill and a habit, and that building the habit matters more than trying to seem smart reading a technical book like I should.
TLDR: would reading Animorphs series or something stupid help me more than reading a technical book? Should I try to isolate and read quietly, or train myself to read with the TV on to a game or something to practice focusing? Does anyone have anecdotal evidence going from a non-reader to being a reader?
How do you go from here (illiterate) to there (reading books 24/7)?
