More on Reading

     I am increasingly finding reading more frustrating as I get older. I know that the more i read the easier it should get, but i am finding it harder to read. I get frustrated because i read so slowly, i can read a page in 3 to 5 minutes. I can read about 5 pages before i need to take a break because i am frustrated that i have not read more in that amount of time. I can read a page in about 1 minute but that is just me reading the words, i would have no understanding of what i just read. I have to reread multiple times before i understand what i have read. Once i have reread i will have a immense understanding and be able to connect the dots to what i have already read, and think of things that others may not. I tend to over analysis what i have read and over think some things, but that lets me know i understand what i have read. I enjoy reading but it just takes so much work. I feel like i need a nap after i read, and i have to constantly change positions so i do not fall asleep. I have had many late nights trying to finish reading a book and waking up in the morning only have read 5 pages. I wish i could read better and i hope over time reading will get easier for me.
