I know that I've become more likely to just read a chapter and then switch to something else then when I was younger. I'm still capable of reading a standard length book in less then a day on the few days I can afford the time spent.
I can NEVER focus unless its a very short chapter. I always stop and start over and over lol That's why i like audible companions. i can stop reading switch to listening and do what ever i need to do. Must be my old age. LOL
