Hey
Lately I've been worrying a bit about my reading skills. It takes some time and effort to comprehend a sentence, and see how it relates to the prior. Sometimes I really feel stuck on a sentence, and I don't want to move on when I don't really get it (while I sometimes even should!) When I don't know a verb (I read in english instead of dutch a lot), it's sometimes hard to guess, so it takes even more time looking words up. Main problem is that I focus a lot on details, and sometimes lose the big picture. All with all, it takes fairly much time to read even say 20 pages.
On the other hand: usually I remember fairly much details, and I genuinely like reading; it's one of those things I don't give up despite the barriers.
Do you think these difficulties decrease the more you have read? Do you recognize some of my obstacles and what do you do about it? With love,
R
