>had a long spring semester (tons of essays, read all of House of Leaves in 2 weeks for a class)
>summer is finally here and I have free time to read what I want
>the thought of reading feels daunting and tedious

I'm an English major and I really struggle with inhaling books the way other people seem to be able to. I remember reading for hours when I was little, but now I can barely muster the attention for 5 pages. Maybe the books I was reading as a kid were below my reading level and the books I want to read now are above my (comfortable) reading level. Or maybe the internet has fucked me up. Maybe the side effects of starting Prozac a few weeks ago are compounding these problems.

Sorry for the diary post. I'm just frustrated because I want to huff books the way others do, but I don't feel like I have the fortitude, discipline, or energy to do it. Feel free to sage and/or post that 5 pages a day copypasta.

Why don't you read some easier books just for fun, then gradually build it up. Have there be a degree of transition, it might increase your enjoyment of books.

Don't know why you're shitting on House of Leaves. It's a great, complex book.
