    Read as “finish from beginning to end” or as “opened and get some paragraphs”?

    Example: I’m not a kid anymore and lost interest in fiction literature a long time ago. But I still read technical literature. Of course this kind of books are significantly harder to read (and often there is no need to read them in full) so I don’t think I have read a book in full during the last year.

      This is my problem. I love reading some denser scientific or social study stuff but sometimes just a few pages and my brain is burnt out. I could keep reading further but at that point i don’t retain as much because I’m still fleshing out the concepts and ideas from earlier.
