Have you ever read for a long time and then all of a sudden you forget how to read..? Or is it just me??
I'm debating whether this reply is worth anything considering how you wouldn't be able to read it and all that.
Yes, I sometimes just lose interest on it then go for months of not reading until idk I suddenly have the passion/inspiration to read again.
Same thing happens to me whenever I ran out of good novels/manga/manhua/manhwa to read and there is no good novels coming out at that time.
I think it's just you. Most of us have a defense mechanism called "sleep" that kicks in before that point is normally reached. Honestly it's annoying I know I could go for many more hours without, but then I suddenly find myself in a puddle of drool on the couch.
As for forgetting how to read, that has happened to me before. It was super weird. I knew how to pronounce all the words but I just couldn't comprehend or remember their meanings. Sometimes I still know their meaning but I can't combine them together to form a sentence.
I sometimes forget "time" when reading especially at night. I'll just notice the sky go bright and realize I was up all night reading....
your brain is tired so it hard to remember letter, alphabet or thing like that~ have you ever suddenly forget a specific meaning of a word? hmm science about brain, it function on specific part and such~ worst case..... you get tumor on your brain or something sinister slowly defunct part of your brain such as dementia~
I read to many novel been translate that I sometimes forget my country format word and write. I feel ashamed.
Erm, I do read too much occasionally and give myself reading fatigue, I sometimes run out of material I'm interested in, and I've read late into the night and had to quit because I was too sleepy and could barely understand the words...but so far I've never forgotten how to read. I bet if I read enough MTL this would happen to me, though.
Hahaha the thread title is so misleading. I thought he was talking about how you got too engrossed in a book and had a hard time staying away from it. This is just a shit post..
This happens to me too. Like, I read the words, understand each of their meanings, but can't comprehend what the sentence means. Even if I do, I can't link the sentences with each other. It's extremely frustrating and makes me mad. This mostly happens when I read too much stuff from all kinds of different genre and suddenly pick up something entirely different. For example, I was reading "Norwegian Wood" after reading a BL QT few days ago and I just couldn't understand what was happening in there. It was so bad that I stopped reading and still haven't been able to pick it up again.
I don't READ TOO MUCH! 'cuz if I did I might dig my own grave by creating TOO MANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS!!!
