I'm going to agree with the majority and say that it's just your personal taste Reading comprehension is kind of weird and different for everyone. I highly doubt a group of people in a literal book club have bad reading comprehension. It's more than one thing. Memory, language skills, focus, etc. For example. I read really fast, but my retention sucks unless I take notes. My friend is a slow reader, but remembers everything to a T. My friend has an amazing memory, but sucks at spelling. Lol I am amazing at spelling. But my memory is absolutely terrible. I for the life of me, also cannot comprehend a book if it just bores me.
