I’m so ambitious about reading, but when it comes down to it... I just can’t focus on books the way I used to 😞

Same and it makes me really sad. Being a reader and lover of books has been a big part of my identity since I was a little kid- it bothers me that I don't know how to be good at that anymore.

I'd have to tear out the last 3rd of the pages in the "actually read" books too.

I feel this! Lately, I can only seem to get through a book by listening to the audiobook version, aside from textbooks for school (which have that extra incentive of being required)

Throughout my teens I read every book I could get my hands on, whereas I'm about to complete my thirties having read precisely zero. Which often plays into my belief that I'm making up my ADHD because if I had it, it would have been present from childhood, in which case how do I explain all those books?

This!!! 👆. I have 4 on my nightstand. 2 I started on months back and never finished and 2 still waiting to be opened. And then there’s the books on the bookshelves at home and in my office at work.....

Same. It's crazy how much I used to read when I was younger. I actually made it through all of Moby-Dick in high school and it wasn't even assigned, I just read it for fun. Now it takes me a couple of days to read a 150 page novella, and that's assuming I even finish it. The pandemic made my focus on reading even worse. *sigh*

This piece on Tor helped me feel better about it: https://www.tor.com/2021/05/03/stop-feeling-guilty-about-the-books-you-havent-read-yet/

FWIW ebooks saved me as an ADHD reader. No stack to overwhelm me with guilt. It remembers where I'm up to in each book. And I can swap between titles or jump ahead easily when my "antsy-reader syndrome" kicks in.

I used to buy so many books that just sat on a shelf. I always wanted to be the kind of person who could just sit down and read a book for hours. Rarely worked out. I'm so grateful for audiobooks.

I wasn’t diagnosed ADHD until I was an adult partially because I used to hyper focus on reading. As an adult, I find that I hyper focus less in general.

I love physical books but I’ve committed to Kindle because if I can purchase and start reading a book during that surge of “I want to read this book!” I will usually finish it!

I have so many bookshelves full of wishful reads. I used to do the same with magazines. They are all part of my hopes and dreams to read more.
