I Can't Seem to Finish a Book.

[Chris]

I just can't seem to finish books. I start on them, but I am never able to actually complete them.

It was like this all through school, and I always got in trouble for not completing an assignment. I think the only time I've ever managed to get it together, was through my last finals back in 2002. I thank God that I actually found the interest to finish the project. I don't like to think about what would have happened if I didn't.

This has been quite a problem for me, especially since I love reading, and I love books. Reading is a getaway to an estranged, but magical world, and I'd love to actually visit there some time.

Am I the only one who have this problem? I just can't seem to find the interest to finish a book I've started on.

I see absoutely no point in getting half way into a book and quitting unless the book sucks.

Unless a book really does not interest me, I read them really quick. I love reading, I do it very often.

Sounds like maybe you're not reading very good books? What books are you trying to read now but cant finish?

Maybe theres something going on in your life right now thats putting your concentration levels down?

Personally, I hate books. Can't stand em. They make my eyes and head hurt.

But when I need to finish a book for school or something, I roughly skim through them because almost all the books that schools make me read are not very interesting... at all. However, if I ever do find a book worth reading, I can finish it eventually.

Try this: when reading, and finding yourself not able to finish it, predict what will happen next, or what you want to happen next, whether it be big or small. That's motivation for you to continue reading the book, so you can find out if you're right, and you find out what happens next.

It doesn't matter which book I'm reading, I'll never finish it. I've managed to actually read the first two Lord of the Rings books, but that was only because I violently forced myself to do so.

Everything in my life is fine. I'm content and I always have been. I guess it is just another one of my many issues. I don't know, really. I hope it gets better.

I'm such a moron, I don't know. I can't really help it.

Dont be silly, how are you a moron because you cant finish a book? It doesnt make you a moron.

Mebbe its just a phase or something?

If you're a moron, I'm a single cell amoeba.

I suppose you're right. Since I've had this problem for most of my life, I doubt it will ever go away.

I always find the Internet to be a very distracting factor when I'm reading books. But I love them so much I read 'em anyways. ^_^

I have this problem too. I only read the books by my favorite author (V.C. Andrews!!!).

Don't worry about it. What you should do is find a genre of books that you like, take a peak in them, and see if you like a random page, if you do, then buy the book, or get it from the library. I've also gotten interested in Steven King. His books are really slow in the beginning, but then they are really thrilling in the middle and end.

Maybe you should try these authors. V.C. Andrews may be a little girly though if your not into that stuff...

Hope I helped!!!

The reason I dont finish books is because I come to a slow part of the book and start another one. Im reading about 7 different books at the moment!
