A considerable amount of my day is consumed by reading books, essays, reports, etc., and I am noticing that I struggle to understand the important points or facts while reading large blocks of text.
I am working on reading through two 750 page books right now, both nonfiction on history and economics, but as I read the chapters, I feel like I finish them without really understanding what I have read. It's like I am lost in all the text, unable to decipher what exactly the author is attempting to explain or what point he/she is trying to make and connecting it back to a main idea.
Now I am not sure if this is because I don't learn well by reading words or if it is that I am just stupid and incompetent at academics?
