>when i graduated, i find every book is hard to read. can not find my patience to read the book, what should i do?<

I felt the same way when I graduated. I'd always been an avid reader, but 5 years of engineering school was like some hellish Pavlovian experiment where they beat the love of reading right out of me. The cure for me was magazines. The articles were short and they had pretty pictures. I was reading magazines that specialized in hobbies and interests that I was passionate about so it didn't 'feel like work'. Once I got over the aversion to reading (it took a couple years) I was able to get back into books.
