their's also so much stuff out their too, and I would like to read more- but as stated above, it's just a problem.

usually what I find myself doing is forgetting about the book, then looking at the last page so I know how it ends, then move on.

the last book I managed to get through was the saddest girl in the world by cathy glass, even that 1 took me over a month.
I'm the same way, in that I also have a struggle when it comes to reading. Some of it's being able to keep enough focus and some of it's being able to comprehend what it is that I am reading. For example, right now I'm in school and I feel like I have to read these chapters 2-3 times before the content really sinks in. It makes me sad and angry all at the same time.
