Enter a username he/him Posted October 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I stayed up past 2:30 last night reading Oathbringer again. I've gotten distracted by textbooks. I find storming copyright pages interesting, for crying out loud! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your problem is not that you read too much, but that you find too many things interesting. or something like that. It is impossible to read too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something starts getting unhealthy, then that's when it's too much. Edited October 30, 2020 by Enter a username 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten distracted by textbooks. I find storming copyright pages interesting, for crying out loud! I do this to! Well, I get distracted by textbooks. One night my cousin (who’s a nurse) had a EKG reading manual laying out on the counter and I stayed up way to late reading it. It was just a boring manual, but I loved it. I also asked for MCAT books for my birthday a couple years ago which I’m reading now. Edited October 30, 2020 by Hentient 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriarFritz Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I totally relate to getting distracted by textbooks. Sometimes for a class I've just read the whole textbook the first night, so that I can ignore it the rest of the class. Because I also have uncanny retention of information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despise textbooks. Even if I find the subject or material interesting, I can't get into them. Or sometimes I will find parts of the textbook interesting and read those instead of the parts I'm supposed to read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyingbooks Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I also definitely read too much. If there's something to read in a random room, then I will read it. Once I start reading anything remotely interesting, it's hard to put it down until I finish it, so normal books are like sanderlanches for me, while actuall sanderlanches are like ultra-mega-sanderlanches instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
