For me, I can unfortunately use the thread title as a statement. I just finished reading. End of. The last physical book I read was in secondary school, I might have read one or two non-fiction e-books since but that's it. I'm not proud of it, I just don't have the patience to read several hundred pages of fiction. Same with films - unless it grabs me within the first 10 minutes I'll turn it off.
I've had a self imposed rule for as long as I can remember. Give it to page 60, and if it hasn't grabbed me by then, then it's down the dumper. Having said that, I can't remember when I last invoked that rule. As already mentioned I struggled with the John Cooper Clarke, and likewise with Will Sargent last year. I actually read so many books that I have a spreadsheet on my phone to keep up. I know! Sad as fuck really. But I do love reading.
