Can't Remember What I Just Read

Mister

I'm feeling so frustrated! I've had this problem ages. I read a page of a book, something online and by the next page I am lost can't remember what I just read. It's put me off reading to be honest. Books are not fun anymore just frustrating a constant reminder I can't read.

But why! That's what bugs me. Up until recently it wasn't a problem but now it's like its always been that way. I don't get it.

    I'm more in to audiobooks these days. Suits me a lot better and less to stress about, easy to just sit down and enjoy listening to whatever I'm reading, listening to.

    Good idea, thanks.  I started looking into text to speech for bigger articles on the pc, even pdf's.

    There's a lot to select out there book wise so if you'll find it easier I think it's definitely worth it and it never hurts to try. I think you can get Audible for a free trial as well.

    I hope you find your 'Mrs Carl'. Think that would be really romantic and sweet having someone read to you. Blush
