So... when my wife gets a book she likes, she can get through it in a couple of days. Apparently that's common and people typically can do that.

Me reading: "It was a dark and scary night.." Hmm, what did I just read? So I read the line again to make sure I am following the story. Hmm, nope still didn't sink in. Read it a 3rd time. Ok, I think I got it, lets move on to the second sentence. The second sentence may be a little better, but eventually, a few sentences later, I will get "stuck" like that again and need to re-read things. Bottom line, it takes me months to get through 1 book.

I've been this way since I was a kid. Taking tests in school where I had to read the paragraph and answer the questions. Instant failure. I never got treatment, so it continues to today. I am 48 years old. Is it even worth seeking treatment at this point?
