"Friends say that I suffer from a short attention span, but exactly the opposite is true. I do not stop reading books because I lose interest in them; if anything, I have too long an attention span, one that allows me to read dozens of books simultaneously without losing interest in any of them. Moreover, I have an excellent memory that allows me to suspend reading, pick up a book six months later, and not miss a beat. A chess player once told me that a good memory is a cheap trick that creates a deceptive aura of intelligence around an otherwise ordinary intellect. This is true."
I don't always read a lot of books at one time, but readers everywhere should read this article. Even if you only read a couple at a time it will make you feel better. And I thought it was an enjoyable read.
like I said, don't feel bad. when I posted this same question on my blog some people told me they had BOXES full of books TBR. BOXES!!! lol
ReplyDeletea lot of people had over 100 books to read. yikes.
That was indeed a fantastic article...felt like I was reading the thoughts of a kindred spirit. I try to keep only 5 or 6 books going at any one time. Try being the operative word.
