      Lol same, but I read the completed series of Sherlock Holmes and let me tell you it gave me a massive headache. I could hardly understand what was happening or what the characters are saying that I have to keep on googling shit ton of definitions and eventually I had to give up reading it for a about a few pages because I was freaking fed up with searching the definitions of so many complex words that it ruined my flow of reading😂

    These insights are so true, especially if you read challenging books. Go slowly, give the author a chance-you can tell how he wants to speak to you-follow that pace and approach, and reread during or after.
    Accumulating “read” books is a waste of time.

    just keep on reading. Over time you will begin to understand the text, but the most important thing is making reading a habit.

    Here is a tip from me: This is not just a tip for reading, but a general tip for everything. Firstly, let me just state that everything is composed of smaller components. Those smaller components are then composed of smaller components. Those are also composed of smaller components. This goes on probably until we reach the most basic and fundamental components possible. In order to truly know what something is at the maximum level of detail possible, we need to know about all of the components that it is made of.
    However, we don't always need to know the literal maximum level of details. For instance, we don't need to know the exact atoms potatoes are made up of in order to know if they're edible or not. This is because the smaller components that it's made up of combine to make bigger components with qualities more easily recognizable and discoverable. As a result, there are different levels that we need to dig in order to find different qualities.
    How does this relate to the topic of understanding books?

    As a child I learned a reading method that still serves me well, even for these difficult books and for dry plumbing code books. It is the SQRRR method. Stands for "survey, question, read, reread and recite."
    The very first thing you do is just flip through the chapter that you are looking at and look for quotes look for highlighted text or in the case of a philosophical work if something catches your eye in that moment read that sentence or statement paragraph, whatever. And that gives you the $30,000 ft View of what the chapter has within it.

    Doesn’t this mean we are more stupid now than people in the past?? How can we not be able to understand a book without looking up thing on the internet, when in the past that never even existed?

      Umm.. interesting! But, how did you make the assumption that not having internet (easy/quick access to information) equates to less stupidity? Or is there a reference mentioning that in those times, people understood just everything the moment they led eyes on?

      @@am_i_elliot you’re indeed right. It’s not just because someone in the past started to read something that they understood it, but now a days we almost always look things up after we are done with them, to see if we missed something. Like complicated movies and books. My question is: should we do that and always depend on someone who understood it before you, or should we read it again and think about it, that way drawing our own conclusions?

      No!! That seems like a bad ideia. You would just get stuck, and the words would make less and less sense... Don't re-read too much. Try to finish the book first, and THEN you re-read with a different perspective

      Good, this video will show you how to make it less complex! First read: broad concepts and how those concepts form an argument. Then go in and make it less complex on the second go. Soon you will own that book.

    Seems like a waste of time to spend countless time re reading and researching a meaning to a passage if I simply want to read for pure enjoyment. IMO. The whole point for me to read is simply escapism.

    WTF is a difficult book? If you can read the language say English where's the problem? If the descriptions are confusing or the plot makes no sense or there are too many characters to track, that is not a difficult book but a badly written one. A well written book shouldn't require holy patience. It should move you to keep turning pages.

      "It is indubitable that a surfeit of intricate lexis and esoteric diction employed within literary works can prove to be an impediment to the facile perusal of texts. The inclusion of an abundance of specialized terminology and opaque vernacular can foster a dauntingly abstruse reading experience, thereby precluding many potential readers from fully engaging with the substance of such works. While it is true that a certain level of sophistication can imbue a written work with a sense of erudition and scholarly authority, it is imperative to maintain a balance between linguistic complexity and accessibility, lest the intended audience be unable to decipher the message conveyed by the text."
