Focusing while reading

[Beardo]

I feel as if I can't focus anymore. I open a book yet I can't concentrate. How do I build up my reading stamina? I feel like there are too many distractions. Plus, I need to find something I actually enjoy reading.

I have a similar problem, now I just read a paragraph... stop, think about what I have read, and then carry on 9(rinse and repeat)... works for me. Try it.

The trouble with books is, where do you go once you've read everything you wanted to? I had this problem once...

... the answer is in other cultures and languages. If you can get translated works of famous authors who speak other languages - you may be opening yourself up to a whole new world of discovery...

...I can never tire of Islamic books though. At the moment I'm reading Kitab ul Fitan... just amazing.
