Mr V, you are by no means stupid! Could it be the authors are terrible writers? I had one text in grad school that the author wrote so poorly I had to diagram sentences to try and figure out what the heck they were saying.
You and others mentioned learning style. Maybe you are not a visual learner. Have you tried reading the text out loud? Or have you tried writing a short summary of each paragraph yourself?
How long are you reading at a time? Maybe it would help to read for shorter periods then do something mindless to let yourself digest what you just read?
