Do you ever have times when it’s really hard to get into a book, even one you like?

Today has been one of those for me.

I got a self help book about 7 principles on how to live and the book begins with a depressing scenario and unrealistic context I got bored and did not finish it, but I might read it later. Also I purchased a Chinese book on Amazon even though I cannot read or write in Chinese, my plan was to use the text to lens scanner on my iPhone to cut and paste the Chinese words into google translate so I can create my own English version of the book and download it onto kindle for private personal use. But my hands were tired after doing the first page this way.

Yes I’ve had that happened. Usually I really have to put myself in the mood to get into reading a book. Like I have so much over stimulating thoughts from my phone or iPad so I need to put it away & just play some concentration music sometimes.

Yes, I've definitely experienced that too. Sometimes, even a book I genuinely enjoy can be difficult to dive into. It often depends on my mood or environment. When this happens, I find that switching to an audiobook can help me get back into the story. Audiobooks offer a different perspective and can make the experience more dynamic, especially if the narrator brings the characters to life. 🎧📚

Of course, music, books, movies. We can't like everything.

Yes, sometimes i have to put the book down for a while. Usually I get right back into it.

Rarely, but it happens from time to time.
