I turn on the audiobook version and read along with it when i’m having trouble focusing. Obviously that’s a luxury and not available for all books (like your textbooks) but wanted to share that it’s really helped me.

I actually felt the same way — I can’t really articulate why but I agree with your points! Now i’m hesitant to pick up any other SR novels even though they are highly regarded. Have you had luck with any of her others?
