Am I just too stupid for books?
I recently got into reading the classics and had a pretty good time. But there are books from Dazai or Dostoevsky where I have to read every sentence several times or where my mind goes blank halfway through and I have to start the page anew. No Longer Human has like 135 pages, but I finished it after 4 months, because I got so frustrated while reading. Should I just go back to The Cat In The Hat?

I don't think so. You simply have concentration issues, which is pretty common nowadays. Reduce the time spent before a screen, improve your diet, drink as much water as possible and it should disappear fairly quickly. I don't think it's healthy to play, watch television series or stream through YouTube more than an thirty minutes each day. It overstimulates your brain and you can't focus on simpler media any more.
