What books are you reading these days?

I read the other day that more people in Britain don’t read on the subway but play phones instead. I’m curious about this: do you still read now? Especially when you graduate from schools and even when you married and have kids? I read books at times these days. I read some English novels, now I’m reading one which I bought in 2022 but still have 1/3 unread. What books are you reading now?

Wow, a three year old book. What book is it? I haven't read any books this year. I used to try to read one book a year, but I have ADHD.

The book is called A Town Called Solace. I take it I will finish reading it today. It’s about a very touching story. I’m sorry to hear that you can’t read, how old are you, don’t mean to offense, but do you have yourself diagnosed as ADHD?

@maggiesunjuan I hope you finish it today and write a review on here. It's not that I can't read. It's that I can't focus on the book for a long period of time so by the time I'm done with one chapter, I've already forgotten what I've read and have to re-read again and again. It's too frustrating. I am 28, but I was diagnosed with ADHD at 14.

@lilacskies So sorry that I misunderstood just now. I’m trying to finish reading it by this afternoon. I may write a review on it tomorrow if I could go through the book on time. I haven’t met an ADHD friend before, but I have a bad memory especially when I’m in my 40s. I think I can understand how you feel a little bit, I always forgot what I’m going to say even if I knew it a second ago. But good news is we’re both trying, that’s enough, right?

Me too, sometimes I use an electronic ink reader, but now I find I still prefer paper books. I’ve just finished reading one, and I’m going to read another one named The Girls in the Garden.

I read news too. What sort of news are you interested in? I usually check out news about our country in the world. What about you?
